When I buy on-line, a Chrome extension (sorry Apple users, no extension for Safari yet) from Capital One will open a tiny window to allow you to log into your credit card account where you can look up or generate a virtual credit card number. My credit card company, and a number of others now offer “virtual card numbers.” I use Capital One. If the charge is not on your card or bank statement by the second notice, these are scams.Ģ). Wait for the second notice, then go check your credit card (or bank account) balance on-line BY ENTERING THE ADDRESS OF THE BANK OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY BY HAND! Do not click on links. Not surprising, I have received a number of emails and phone calls like that.

As this article discusses, the 833 area code is often associated with malware and should ALWAYS be treated as suspicious. In this case it’s calling a toll-free number beginning with the US area code of 833. The thing to remember is not all phishing attacks and scams need you to click on a link. Once it is added to our database, our community of Webroot users are protected automatically. Like the other phishing emails and associated URLs and IP addresses, this information is identified, analyzed and classified by Webroot BrightCloud Threat Intelligence. Unfortunately, it’s one of thousands of phishing scam attacks we see each day through Webroot’s BrightCloud Threat Intelligence service, and we are aware of this and many other fraudulent Webroot websites and phone numbers on the internet.Ĭheck out this article for more information on these types of scams and what you can do to be better educated on them. They use your credit card details to do their worst with your money! They can refund you right away, can you provide your credit card information in order to reverse the charges. The scammer at the other end of the line says, YES it’s a mistake in Webroot’s systems, sorry etc. You call the number and dispute the charges.
The invoice has a phone number with an +1 833-area code to call in case of any questions ( which of course you will have if you think $499.99 has been automatically charged to your credit card)! It’s simply an email with a fake invoice receipt that appears to come from an email address posing as Webroot. The scam below was recently reported to us by a Webroot user and we have had a few additional calls about it as well. These days criminals will try anything to scam you out of your hard-earned money.
