Relentless Fraud Call from "T-Mobile Fraud Dept" Saying someone attempted to purchase an iPhone 15
I just wanted to post this so others are aware. I called and reported this to Care a few months ago in September when a similar incident happened, but it happened again today. When it happened before they said no attempt was made on my account, so its a Phish.When it said " iPhone 15" I had a feeling it was fake. I got a phone call from (888) 531-6664 It immediately says in a female voice robotic: " Thank you for contacting T-Mobile Fraud department. A purchase attempt has been made for a new iPhone15. If this was not you, press 1. Upon pressing 1, it will ask you to enter the 6 digit code to verify. This is when i believe a targeted attack takes place where they try to reset your account or gain access by doing a man in the middle attempt to bypass your account credentials. The text took forever to come in, but i fed it a fake number and it said " this is not a valid validation number" Then it calls back, OVER AND OVER, relentlessly. It called me 8 times. Beware, these things are smart.In the mean time I updated my password and added authenticator to my T-mobile account. I haven't seen anything posted or on the web for this, as its rather sophisticated, but they are asking for the code that "T-Mobile will never ask you for this code" so some people may still get scammed.1.9KViews0likes3Comentarios
