I received a text that they were going to charge my card for my last purchase, which I had not made, and that I needed to call them at this number above...however, the phone number they actually texted me from was disconnected as I checked both numbers before deciding not to call....then I looked at this and was glad I had not....BEWARE!!!!!
I called from another line and just heard music. Then decided to look it up on Google. It's such a sad state that people can be taken advantage of with things like this.

Just got a text telling me to call this number about my order that's pending for $999 if it wasn't authorized by me. Just deleted it. This post was helpful.
Complete scam. Actually did what they said in the text. And didn't realize till after being on the phone with them that are scammers. And was trying to get ahold of my device with no real information of mines to begin with. Do not fall for this scam text message. It is a complete scam.
