Scam Description
Cable service went out and called the billing number for Spectrum. Person answered and pressured me to purchase $99 protection plan for 3 years. Gave person my credit card number and security code for charges. Hung up on person after person would not connect me to technical services. About an hour later called another number that I googled and that number connected me with a technician who helped me. Mentioned to him what happened earlier and he said SOMEONE IS SCAMMING THEIR PHONE NUMBER AND TRYING TO GATHER CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. After hanging up with i cancelled my credit card.
