Huh? Can anyone tell me what the hell this woman is saying? Specifically, who (the company) she says is calling?
"Transaction support at"...uh....Pay Proll, is what it sounds like! I googled the tel number and there's no record of it so it's probably spam. Have you had any trouble completing an online transaction lately?
Hi, this message is for Keith M Ellis. This is Frief(?) calling from Transaction Supported Pay(p)roll. Please stay on the line for the recorded message.
Pay(p)roll could be
- Payroll
- PayPal
- Paper Roll.
Phoning the number gets through to "Payment Processing", but they say they're busy and ask to leave a message, so that's as far as that goes.
Unless you're trying to buy something off the internet at the moment, I'd regard it as a con.
If you are currently buying something, they may be authorising you. Contact your supplier rather than phoning the number they gave you.
OK - Got through to someone. (Didn't give any info out)
They say that they're involved with partypoker.com
Maybe phone "1-800-852-4719" and ask if anyone is trying to contact you.
The reason I ask that you to contact your credit card company is because Poker Sites are a great way of laundering money. Steal the credit card details, play somebody at poker and lose all your money to them. The money has successfully been laundered.
