I groggily answered the ringing phone at 6am, and was alarmed to hear an official-sounding robotic voice. “This is the alert system with Visa (or Mastercard) account services!” It went on to tell me that there were two suspicious charges to my Visa card.

Got a call from a funny dude claiming to be calling from "U.S. Governemnt Grant Department" to tell me I just going to inherit $9435 for nothing. All I need to do is provide my checking account details. Call recipients be aware!
