There is a scam for Amazon. Last week it was an automated call saying I purchased an iPhone for $1200. Checked my account and no purchase was made. The auto call wanted me to verify my info, including my cc number.
A few months ago I got a call from a debt collection agency. Collecting for a pay day loan I took out in 2011. (Not). With penalties and interest the total is now $3,500.00. But it I pay now they will let me pay $475 and forgive the rest. I told them I didn't take out a payday loan. Their response was, maybe it was a roommate that used your information. (No). If I give them my Payment info over the phone I can take care of it now. Or they will have to report me to the credit agencies. I almost did it. But changed my mind. Told them to send me the paperwork that was used to get the loan. They hung up and i haven't heard from them Since.

had a fake call from Amazon saying someone ordered 2k on Apple products. They said the items had already been shipped to Tennessee. I eventually said I would call them back so I could call the real Amazon phone number. Scam. They were likely going to ask for my bank information to pretend to refund me.
this call came in saying my electric service is going to be suspended for being past due and to press 1. My account WAS past due only by like a day. I decided to call Rocky mountain power directly.

I would never go for scams on KSL years ago. Just recently posted on classifieds and almost got scammed numerous times from local area code numbers rather than different states
My mom got 4 different phone calls from the same number that was a local number here in our small town. She thought it was a legit caller from her credit union so the last call that came through asked for her credit and debit card information as well as her social security number. She's way too trusting and ended up giving all of it out. luckily my dad heard her giving out the numbers and acted quick. They were able to shut down the cards but this is her 6th time having this happen this year. Bless her heart she is a very trusting loving woman.
was trying to get a PELL grant to pay for college. Googled PELL grant and went to the first site thinking it was legit.
