Most insane refund scam to date

General Discussion

  1. Received invoice in email
  2. Called number. They asked for invoice number, they said “Is this -My Real Name-?” (They later also had my real cell number)
  3. Worked with “PayPal” for almost a 1/2 hour before my bank (not my actual bank) called me.
  4. 20 or so minutes in they had me file a report on the FTC website and then wanted the Report Number (I made it clear in the report to ignore this)
  5. It was at this point he finally started going through the digital locker stuff and I revealed I knew what they were, and that I had never banked with that bank. Didn’t take him long to hang up.

These guys are getting crazy with the number of hoops they have people to go through to make sure they aren’t being baited.
