No I did not. Have no idea who Tech America is And I have no "account."

I was almost curious to call that number again, to see, where it goes. I suppose they would ask for my credit card number to "confirm" that I did not send them money.

Just makes me mad that they target seniors who may not "remember" such automatic accounts.

1. New one for me.

I’ve got a couple text that have to be scams. One was about my unemployment account. I retired 19 years ago. The area code was Colorado and I’m in Michigan.

2. AARP had an article on scams aimed at seniors recently

Frauds aimed at older adults are becoming more creative. “Scammers stay on top of whatever is new, such as the popularity of Zoom, COVID-19 vaccines and online shopping,” and then move fast to create ploys that best fit the moment, says Amy Nofziger, AARP's director of fraud victim support. Here are nine such frauds happening widely right now.

3. And today an email from PayPal with a "receipt" for my order from.... Tech America

This one for "only" $179.60.

I don't have an account with PayPal and it seems that they have been covering the country.

Searching for this phone number on google was rich
