==============================================

I checked my sales for last year and have no sales amounts like the one specified.

 

A quick call to my bank proved it a scam. There are no charge disputes on any of my accounts. It came from --  Stripe <stripesupport@ninabsas.hostpilot.com>

 

That website is a closed site. We could see it runs an MS web server, but, other than that it is locked.

 

Just want you to be aware.

Stupid scammers.. glad you outsmarted them... many people get scammed because life is busy and they just do as they're told in the email... Years ago this sort of thing happen to my friend with both Paypal and ebay.. he logged into their fake site to update his info and password... Never ever log into a account though an email... go directly to the site to log in to update.. He got scammed out of about 2-3 grand if I remember correctly.. this happened about 15 years ago.

I got the "IRS starting legal action against me" at 5:44 AM today.  We don't even answer our home phone anymore, just let it go to the answering machine.

Same here.  Hubby used to get upset at me for doing so, I said fine you answer and convince them you are not who they are looking for, tell them no thanks, and see what happens, etc. he no longer answers the home phone either.

That's the main reason we keep our land line, very rarely give out our cell phone numbers.

Exactly why I keep it too.  So I don't have to give out my cell phone.  however, Sadly, they call my cell phone almost as much or more then the home phone now.   I tell my family - if you need to call me from a phone number not identified in my cell phone or home number, you'll have to leave a message because I am not answering (but do check immediately if there is a voice message.)
