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
Count yourself lucky is thats the first and only time you received that call. Those calls and emails on that topic have been circulating for years. I cant believe anyone still gets scammed by it after all this time
