The message said it was Expedia and all I had to do was press '1' to receive $2000 in travel money. I hung up - why would Expedia be using a phone number with my area code? I know they're not based here. I've had a few scam calls and texts over the last few days and I'm in no doubt this is another one.
The message said it was Expedia and all I had to do was press '1' to receive $2000 in travel money. I pressed 1 just to hear about it. Actually transferred me to an agent and I was asked to verify 2 things: Over 25 years old and had a credit card. I said I didn't have a credit card and the agent said bye.
I too had a call from this number. I have no clue why? I am a member of expedia.ca and they may have my cell #. Whatever the case, 'i smell a rat'. Thanks to all of those that take the initiative to log such these types of calls/events.
