Fake Visa scammer PROBABLY SPOOFED THE CALLER ID #. I'm on the DoNotCallList... *note* 'Agent' had an East-Indian-like accent. So after answering a Stephen Hawking type 1990s lo-fi American English TTS voice repeated this twice: "This is Visa security we have ID'd suspicious activity on your account charges $400 on ebay and $1000 in International Cheques. Press 1 for an agent.". But ignored 1 or any button pressed. Agent came on pening "Visa security dept." I'm like "Hi can I get an update on my account" The 'agent' repeated those oddly round numbered charges. I'm like "So...?" He asks when I last used my card. I said "Uh, last night for gas right?" and asked "Please confirm the last 4 digits so I know which card we're talking about" he's said " NO I confirm" I challenged "You called me from a local cell phone number caller ID so you must confirm, do you even know my name" he gets madder "ICONFIRM" me: "no i confirm" back-n-forth he drops the call so he is an experienced scammer knowing his calls per min is the only way to get an uninformed kindly/elderly individual to rip off. What a scumbag but again they prolly spoofed the caller ID so this number may be fine.
