Was it their spokesperson or a comedian that said that? Google AdWords is becoming the funnel for stuff like that. My dad had the same thing happen when trying to contact Amazon about fraudulent CC charges.
First you get scammed and then you get scammed again if you trust Google to find support numbers. Thankfully my dad caught on when they started asking too many questions.
When I shut off my ad blocker and tested it on mobile, I got a continuously changing number as the top ad.
- JCharante 3y agoOne time I saw a couple charges I didn't recognize on my Discover card, so I called their number (on the back of the card). Eventually, to request a new card I had to give the phone agent an SMS OTP from Discover that said something to the effect of "do not share this OTP with anybody, Discover will not ask you for this code". I quadruple checked that I had called the right number and not someone who was typo-squatting.
- jtokoph 3y agoMy messages from discover say they will not call me and ask for the code but they will ask if you call them.
- JCharante 3y agoAh does it say that last part in the message? I tried to retrive my text message from last year but was unsuccessful.
- bryan0 3y agoThis happened to me when talking to Amazon support. I told the guy I wasn’t giving him the OTP and he apologized and said “I understand”. I’m pretty sure it was legit but who knows. I just never give it out.
