The advice from Consumer Reports/AARP.
1. Never click on any link in any email.
Do a Google search of bank or credit card and use officel customer
support number and call directly to verify if one thinks that there is a problem or
issue.
2. If you receive a phone call. Again. Hang up. Do a Google search of
bank/credit card and make a dedicated phone call yourself.
Also scams pretending from Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, UPS, Fedex, USPS, etc.

I got the Grampa scam call a few weeks ago. Guy pretending to be my grandson, wanting me to send him money to keep him out of jail. I was out walking my dog and it was real cold, otherwise I would have played along.
