A warning about a possible scam

[Washougal_Otaku]

Hey guys!  I received a phone call not too long ago from the number 661-427-2692.  Now, I don't know their whole deal, but, from what I've been looking at on the web this seems to be a scam operation of some sort.  One post that I read thinks it may have something to do with people booking flights with Orbitz.  I know I never did, but I still got it just the same.

Here's what happened...

I picked up the phone and it was an automated message, in Spanish!  Then they hung up on me.

I called them back, and received yet another automated message; this one was in English.  It told me that they were some travel-related thing, and that they'd call me back.  It then said I could either choose to have my number removed from their database or hang up.  Well, I figure the rest should be obvious.

Just looking out for you guys.  Take care!

The same thing happened to me only it was in german. (thankfully I have taken german classes) it said I had booked a 700$ business class ticket to a city in russia. Of course I alerted the person I didn't book any flight and that I had no Idea what they were talking about. I'm expecting ether a call or e-mail from orbitz with new info. I'll keep you posted

Hello there, this is Animeman73. I've actually heard about these sorts of scams from my family and the John Tesh radio show. This is one thing I've learned that's key to seeing through the scam. If they ask for personal information (i.e. social security number, account number, PIN number for your credit and/or debit card). If they ask any of this, DON'T give it to them! If this were for real they would never ask for that kind of personal information. Remember if something seems too good to be true then it probably is. Stay safe everyone.
