I got a phone call from a very official sounding woman. She said she was was phoning about my credit card. They had tried several times to contact me. This was going to be my last chance to talk to them. If I didn’t they would lower the amount I could charge monthly! Just press 1 and we can talk about it, she said.

We all know what that means. So I put the phone down, of course. I just wanted to warn people about this scam. I hate to see people fall for this one.
