Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

Caller asked if I could hear her then offered a vacation package deal. I realized that I should not have said "yes" as it could be used to authorize other charges and tried to get her to give me the name of the company. I could not understand her answer and told her repeatedly I was not interested. She eventually hung up.

Type of a scam Phishing

We have been hearing in the news about people calling and the first thing they say is "Can you hear me?". After saying "yes" the scammer will use the person's recorded "yes" answer to do fraudulent activities (open accounts, deplete bank accounts, etc.). On the morning of February 7, 2017 at 10:12 am, I received a call on my cell phone. The person said to me, "This is Josh from customer service. Can you hear me?" I immediately hung up, and this person did not call back.

Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

On the evening of February 13, 2017 at 5:58 pm the phone rang and I answered it. the person at the other end asked, "Can you hear me?" I replied, "yes" and then she proceeded to indicate that my husband and I had stayed at their resort and apparently was trying to sell a vacation at a resort. (My husband and I have never been to a resort and I knew then it must have been a scam). I, then, quickly hung up the phone.

I didn't find out about this scam until today when I heard people talking about it.

"Denise" called my place of employment several times. I called back 8554146233 in order to stop calling so I would not get fired but she refused to give me any information on my "debt" without me giving her my social security #. She would not look me up by name, or phone number. She kept insisting that I needed to give her my social security number. I refused.

Caller asked for me by name. I stated not available, could I take a message. She began to claim that she was calling because someone was trying to sue me in small claims court. I asked what state. She said Arizona. I again asked if I could take a message. She asked that the attorney's office be called and to use a specific claim number. Before getting the phone number and claim number I hung up. I disconnected because she wouldn't identify a law office and I know that notification of a matter in small claims court is handled via mail/server, etc. Sorry I couldn't get more information, but I was taken back by the call, by hearing "someone is suing you."
