credit card scam

A user nearly fell victim to a scam involving a fake Saltair deodorant website (saltaiir.com) that mimicked the legitimate brand but had an extra 'i' in the domain. The scam site offered a 40% discount, appeared sophisticated, and prompted the user to enter an Apple Pay verification code, which they suspiciously noticed due to Apple Pay's warning. The user canceled their credit card and emphasized verifying website authenticity before purchasing.

A husband reported a scam charge on his credit card linked to a PDF converter tool he does not use. The charge reappeared on his new card after cancellation, suggesting a recurring scam. He uses fantasy sports apps like Draft Kings but has no subscriptions or tech-related activity explaining the charge.

The user is receiving frequent credit card scam calls from numbers with their city's code (502), featuring a pre-recorded male voice using the wrong name 'John'. Verizon does not flag these calls as spam, leading to ongoing frustration.
