Ever picked up to an automated voice claiming credit card charges you never made? That's the red flag here with this suspicious call—fake alerts about unauthorized transactions are a classic scam tactic to panic you into sharing details. The switch to a pushy 'hello, you there dear?' screams boiler room operation, likely aiming to steal info or money. Hang up immediately next time; never confirm personal data or click links they provide. Report to authorities like FTC or your phone carrier to block similar nuisances. Stay vigilant—scammers thrive on urgency, but verifying independently keeps you safe.
An automated voice claimed two charges on my credit card – odd since I don’t own one – then switched to an Indian speaker saying “hello, you there dear?” I laughed and hung up.
