If You Think Phone Spam Is Bad in the US, Try Picking Up in Argentina
More than one out of every three calls to Americans from numbers not in their contacts lists were spam in the fourth quarter of last year—and we can take some relative pride in that, because many other countries have a much bigger phone-spam problem.
I got a call from this number saying they were Revolut. It was an automated voice recording saying a payment was made and to press a button on my phone keypad if I had authorised this transaction. I hung up immediately, knowing it was a scam. I also checked my Revolut, and there was no suspicious activity, which would have warranted a call such as the above.
