Huh? Can anyone tell me what the hell this woman is saying? Specifically, who (the company) she says is calling?
"Transaction Supported PayPro"? or PayPal?

"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.

"Have you had any trouble completing an online transaction lately?"

Nope. The only PayPal thing I've done lately was the MeFi CD.

Thanks for the help deciphering.

Now I think it's "Transaction Support at PayPro"

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.

I'd also call your credit card company, and ask what transactions have been made lately.

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.

Yikes!

Hmm. Nothing happening on credit card. "Party Poker", huh? It is alarming that they have my name and my phone number (which is a VOIP number).

Thanks for calling them, seanyboy. I could've and should've done that, but I guess I have a bit of a phobia about it. I'm funny about the phone.
