Area Code 647 Scam Telephone Calls

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.

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 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.
