**** IMPORTANT NOTICE ****
This number, 1-250-412-8815, belongs to an unknown person or persons that are on what is referred to as a "PHISHING TRIP". If you are NOT familiar with the term in quotes above...whoever they are, they are calling to get info from you about your credit card and then they take that info, YOUR INFO, and use it in an illegal manner to gain in illegal ways of their choosing.
Whatever anyone does, please DO NOT give them ANY info about ANYTHING regarding you or anyone else...AT ALL...NO ANSWERS TO ANY KIND(S) OF QUESTION(S). Immediately, without letting on that you know what they are up to, disconnect the call and telephone your local AUTHORITY, of your choosing, to report them. The local POLICE department are likely going to be unable to help you, depending on the nature of your complaint, but they will direct you to the correct reporting agency, in your area. If your local POLICE do not offer the telephone number to call, that they have recommended to you, ask the POLICE if they have the number available...if not, telephone your telephone company to obtain the number to call.
I REPEAT: DO NOT GIVE THEM EVEN ONE ANSWER TO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING...PERIOD! They are being investigated and it's only a matter of time until they are caught or until they "move on".
I hope you find this helpful.
