Last week i bought a iphone. att, i checked the imei and all everything checked out fine. deal went smooth.
the issue is today i get a call from a random number claiming to be the owner of the phone. and they say they know everything that went down and the phone is involved in a bigger situation an aparent kidnapping. They say they know i am a victim also. they said they have contacted the police and know my information phone, where i live, facebook, where i work(bought the phone across the street from work). The info they told me they know is generic you can find my facebook from my phone number and my name and what part of the city i live in. They said the phone is under a month old it cost so much money. they said they know how much i paid and said if i cover the differece in the full price i could keep the phone. but they would have to run that by att.
i have been trying to get ahold of att for like 25 minutes they suck. what should i do? i want to make things right. but am i getting scammed for extra money?
very frustrating.
while typing this i got a hold of att they have no information about a stolen phone with my matching imei. and it sounded like the lady helping me was hinting at dont answer their calls any more.
called the police department and they have anything with my name. they cant give me info wise unless i know their full name to help them search. and they contact me dont do anything.
sound like a scam?
