Today I received a call out of nowhere, stating that I have an order of a 700 dollars LG refrigerator coming to my house. The lady claimed that she's from Sears, and she was just verifying the order for me. I asked her to cancel the order and trace the order but she said she cannot give me the info. She even refused to give me the address that was used. So I gave her my address for her to verify, and she told me that is the right address (alert!).
Anyway, she gave me a number to call. I did and it was a recording that at the end it hangs up. So search up any Sears' customer service numbers, and verified with them that indeed, there is no order found under my name and my address. I later called all my credit cards to verify that there is no charge at all.
So, part of me just wants to assume that it was a system mistake and just ignore it. But part of me is telling me that something fishy is up. Especially about the part where the lady refused to tell me the address used for the order, but was willing to "verify" with my address. It seems that it is a scam to get my billing address, so that she can now place orders online. I am really paranoid now. I don't know what actually to do! Any suggestion is really appreciated!
