so I figured I'd play along and pressed 1

sure enough someone with a heavy accent came on the line asking a series of questions all designed to get me to say the word "Yes"

after a few questions I told her that my toast had just popped up and I needed to go butter them.....

be careful, they're out there and they're getting slicker and more devious every day




I suspect many, many folks receive this, I know I do. And I don't even have an Amazon account - never have. Also get similar notices from banks I don't have accounts with.
