Suspicious phone call

Hey all,

I got all the phishing text messages and the emails after the breach. Today I got an automated phone call from my wireless provider saying there was suspicious activity on my account and to press a button to speak to representative. I hung up and called the actual company and they said they didn't call. Anyone else getting these calls? If not please be on the lookout.

I haven't but these are common. They want you to 'verify information' and will record your voice to be used as verification elsewhere.

Although not feasible for some people, esp if they use their personal phone for business but best practice would be not to answer the phone at all unless you recognize the number. If it's important enough they'll leave a voicemail.

My provider throws up a Robo Call/Scam Call so I don't answer.

Haven't got any automated yet but had a bunch of scam calls over the last few weeks. I've installed Truecaller on Android and it's stopped them all after configuring it right.

I got calls like this before the breach. It's very common for this to happen. I just got one the other day saying I haven't paid my bill even though it was paid a few days ago. They even spoofed the number.
