Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Scamming - Fraud
Scammers are sending a fake Curiosity Stream TV subscription email to potential victims asking them to call the fake Curiosity Stream TV customer support telephone number: 346-201-4693. The scammers may change the telephone number.
The fake email subscription contains an attached invoice, which claims recipients will be billed monthly and ask them to call a fake customer support telephone number in order to stop the payment. But, calling the same telephone number will connect potential victims to the scammers.
If contacted, the scammers will ask callers to verify their banking information. If the callers disclose the requested information, it will be used fraudulently by the scammers.
Therefore, if you have been tricked into disclosing your banking by the Curiosity Stream TV scam email, please contact your bank for help.
If you receive a suspicious Curiosity Stream TV email that asks you to contact them, use the following legitimate contact information instead:

Just got the same scam email from an . AOL email account. I called the telephone number and then they sent me another email telling me I needed to select on the embedded link to cancel subscription. I told him I wasn't going to select the link from an unknown email account by direction of an unknown person on the telephone claiming to be representing Curiosity Stream TV. He insisted Curiosity Stream is a reputable company and that is the only way to cancel the subscription. The guy on the phone had a foreign accent and was really believable. Be careful this scam is going to fool a lot of people.
Got this scam email today. It appears so real that some people will unfortunately fall for it. Different phone number used on the invoice than stated above. Email sender was Odaliz AldemI with email address: odalizaldemib@hotmail.com. Subject was: Send for firstname lastname. What a scam!
