Scammers at it again - phone calls about putative Visa charges
Last couple of days I received 3 calls from 2 different computer generated voices "This is Visa calling, this morning blah blah blah 2 transactions (mentions Amazon $800 and Apple itunes $1000) by which time I hang up.
After the first time I got my phone to look at my visa status and there were no such charges. Of course. I am sure if they really did call me (and it would be the bank, not some generic 'Visa'), it would not be a computer voice, but someone who could actually intelligently discuss the matter.
Anyway, consider yourselves warned. They are apparently very busy/active with their little scheme if my 3 attempts are any thing to go by.
