Scam/Fraud
20 Mar 2024
Called my work phone number & the voicemail transcription says "Online shopping from your Visa card to report this as a fraud Charge. Immediately Press 1 to cancel the payment if it is not done by you. Thank you." I don't have a bank card for work, and my personal finances aren't connected to my work phone number. So it's some sort of scammy nonsense.
