new call scam?

[davidc4430]

just got a phone call thanking me (recorded message) for placing an ebay order

my series 7 phone $399 will be posted... i hung up at this point

i have NOT ordered any phones on ebay (never would)

[dvd.horder]

a lot of scams like that out there

[davidc4430]

just had the same call again

let it run to the end

it ends with 'if you havent made this purchase press 1 to speak to an ebay representative'

can only wonder how many unaware people press 1 and who knows what bull they get from this 'representatitve'

It seems many of us are on first name terms with the lovely Nicole.  She must be feeling very rejected when we all hang up on her.

There is no way on earth that the NBN will be connected to my property while COVID is around.  They are proposing to put it on the bedroom wall, behind my bed where there is no powerpoint....totally unsuitable.

I have had a couple from amazon. I've never bought anything from Amazon. I hang up but I can understand how some might get caught out when told it is about some large purchase they have supposedly made.
