Refund scams: how they sound and how to stop them!
Summary — +13477867685
Expert Opinion
Imagine fielding a call that claims you’re owed a refund for a service you never bought. The voice is heavily accented, the story changes—Norton, Sunrise, Internet Securities—but the script stays the same: press a number, hand over bank details, and expect cash back. This pattern is a classic refund scam that exploits confusion and urgency. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never share personal or financial info. Report the call to your carrier and the FTC, and keep a log of any similar numbers you encounter. Staying skeptical and documenting attempts are your best defenses.
