Fake bank card use scam caller

Another local resident alerted us to say they had an automated call (Dubai code) on landline to terminate the call to say bank card used this morning for 2 payments including an international money order. 

"Press 1 to talk to someone."  They put the phone down.

The above message was sent to alert us and others to remain vigilant.

If it is out-of-the-blue needless to say do not respond to such scam calls.
