Scamming - Fraud
The scammers called several days in a row to report suspicious activity on my Visa or Mastercard. They wanted the first 4 digits of my credit card number, which I gave them. Then they wanted my full debit card number to enable them to block future false charges to my MC (right, this sounds likely!). I gave them a false 16-digit number, incorrect expiry date, false 3-digit code on back. Then I got forwarded to the supervisor who has the authorization to secure my account.
I had visions of him typing busily to sign onto my account, and he was probably going to help me change my password to make the account more secure. But we didn't get that far, because he must have figured out I gave him a bad card number, about the time I asked, "If my Visa is the problem, why are you so interested in my debit card?" He hung up.

How to stop the spam from 647
These guys got me. they accessed everything. I gave them my debit and cc number. My bank called me, I cancelled my cards immediately, got a new one, and they got access to my new card via logging in from my pc. I have spent the last 48 hours changing everything. Please beware
I suggest that you get rid of the computer and any other electronics that you have because you may have a ghost on them from the scammers. That is a keystroke monitor program that is undetectable and is probably on your systems and it allows for them to get everything you do….change everything….they get the new stuff! They will wipe out everything and then wait a while and do it all over again… only solution is to destroy the entire system of equipment. Your homeowners insurance may or may not cover the cost of the damage if you have filed a police report and I believe in some companies that cover you for identity theft and bank theft in this manner might be worth looking into and asking them Good Luck
Recently started receiving texts and calls from several different 647 area code numbers, here in WA state. They seem to all be addressed to "GOVII" and are attempts at getting me to click a link or call them back for an important message about my insurance.Joke's on you, mfers, I'm in the USA, I don't have insurance.
I didn't picked the call as there was a text message regarding a delivery couldn't send cause of wrong address, idirected me to call them but I never called them but blocked the number.
Received this:"16477705752Joe just sent 1000.00 in your C A S H App-WaIlet. Please take ACTI0N here- oyobebi.com/1xgIJOh5YG"
I get text and calls all the time .. mainly texts now since I play with them. Unfortunately they steal numbers and put them on as their number showing but are probably calling from the US or over seas. They assume you will answer with a local number.
Got a 647 call that my phone blocked 3 times prior.Couldnt hear woman then when I asked to repeat,she hung up
No message left from 647 call.

I got scammed from this # 6473653475 they use the crown counsel # 9058534800 they say there crown counsel lawyer saying that I have committed fraud all over Canada & there is a Canada wide arrest warrant out for me If u pay this amount they’ll clear the many charges against me And seize all my accounts. I went to the rcmp here to c if there is any warrants out for me. NOT. As soon as the rcmp talked on the phone to them they dissolved the phone. Thanks Lesson learned I’d guess hope that karma is a birch
