phone scam
 
i just got a call from someone saying they were my neighbor and a package addressed to me got delivered to him,i said what neighbor,he said can i open it,i said no,he said dont worry about it it,s in the trash and then he hung up.im sure it is one of those phone scams where if you call back a big charge is put on your bill so i texted that it was a nice try scammer.the text could not be delivered and i know better to call the number.anyone else get one of these calls?
