🚨 SCAM OF THE MONTH: "You didn't buy this? Call us to cancel."
A text or email says you've just paid hundreds of dollars for a laptop, phone or software you never bought. It gives you a number to call "if this wasn't you".
☎️ That number goes straight to the scammer. They'll offer a "refund", then ask for your card details, ask you to send money back, or try to take control of your computer.
🛑 STOP: Don't call the number in the message.
🔍 CHECK: Open the official app or website yourself and look at your real orders.
🛡️ PROTECT: Already called or paid? Contact your bank straight away using the number on your card.
