Scam Description
I have been receiving a series of calls from an unknown number on my cell phone for days. The calls come every 15-30 minutes over a period of about 3 hours. A voice mail is left usually with no message, but I have received some messages that say “ a purchase has been made on my account. Press 1 to approve press 2 to deny.” Last night I received 13 calls like this from about 6:30 to 9:00 pm. The message on two of the calls read “ Costa Rica if you haven’t placed this order kindly press one to speak to our representative immediately.” There is never a phone number shown, or the name of a business. This has been going on just about every day for a couple of weeks. I never answer or respond. I know that I have no purchases waiting to be approved. Therefore I think this is a scam to try to get me to answer to give information or press a number that will give them access to an account of mine. How can I stop these calls?
