Scam Description
Somone contacted me through InstaGram claiming to be CastleExplores?? (no space) and indicating I won a prize. They encouraged me to click a link and claimed I had won, and all I had to do was enter my credit card number for verification. I questioned it, and after an hour of thought I went for it. Well, unfortunately, I was fooled. Minutes later the real CastleExplores (?) announced on IG that it was not their account. I fell for it. I reported and blocked my account. I still put my credit card information in, so now I am scared of what may happen. I will have to call my credit card company and report fraudulent activity.
