Just received a call on my phone saying I had just purchased an

item for $ 399.00 ? Not me

I hung up -

Anyone else gotten a call like that?

Many, many,many people

As you can see by the dozens of threads about this sort of thing posted here

The scammers don't just pretend to be from 'eBay' either, you name the company, they pretend to work for them

Very glad to hear you did not give them any details or 'press 1' lot a lot of people have

Yep - for that exact amount too. I just delete them.

I also got an email from 'PayPal' today 'to fix my account'. Yeah right. They weren't very good scammers though - their long weird email address had a four letter word (the one that begins with f) in it. I seriously doubt the real PayPal would have that in their address. LOL
