📣 PSA 📣 🚨Scam Alert 🚨
Yes, this is a 100% fake robocall scam. If you received a voicemail claiming that your account is about to be charged around $1,000 for a [Google Pixel Pro](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=FAILED_OR_SKIPPED) (or an iPhone), do not call them back and do not press any buttons. [1, 2, 3, 4]
This tactic is known as a false payment or refund scam. [5, 6]
# # How the Scam Works
* The Bait: You receive an automated or robotic voicemail stating: "This call is to authorize the payment of $999 for the recent order of a [Pixel Pro](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=FAILED_OR_SKIPPED) on your account. If you did not authorize this, press 1 to speak to a representative." [1, 3]
* The Panic: The scammers use a large dollar amount ($1,000) to scare you into reacting quickly without thinking. [2]
* The Trap: If you press 1 or call the number back, a fake agent will pretend to help you cancel the order. They will then ask for your credit card details, bank log-ins, or verification codes to "confirm your identity" or "issue a refund." [1, 2, 7]
# # 3 Steps to Stay Safe
1. Check your accounts independently: Log directly into your actual bank app, credit card portal, or shopping account (like Amazon or Google Store). You will see that no such transaction exists.
2. Do not trust caller ID: Scammers can easily spoof numbers to make it look like a legitimate company or bank is calling you.
3. Block and delete: Delete the voicemail and block the number.
