1-800-947-6570 seems to be the toll-free number used for this scam - something to note down.<p>Also, check out the hilarious &quot;Foreign IP Tracer&quot; output IP addresses:<p>192.168.10.1 Serbia<p>281.179.1.23 Russia

&quot;The scammers, usually located in India, are not native English speakers, &quot;<p>Why India? It says they are Russian. It puts Indian Hackers in such bad light. And I&#x27;m Russian

&quot;watch out&quot; is kind of an overstatement though. As soon as I read &quot;hold up your id&quot; to confirm it&#x27;s you it was immediately clear it was a scam.<p>Companies you do business with do not ask for your personal information - since you already gave it!<p>Your ISP isn&#x27;t going to call you and say, &quot;Say Mr. X to confirm your identitity give us your social security number and your credit card number + ccv code&quot;.

I&#x27;m confused. How did the guy make it to the fake landing page? Was it from an email?
