I take calls at a credit card company for work now and a ridiculous amount of my call volume is related to scams and fraud. The most common one I've seen recently is facebook ads where it looks legit, uses official branding and logos of some big business like home depot or something, all the way to once you've tried to buy the thing, which point it shows up on your card as PAYPAL * (some asian name) and you never receive anything. Old people fall for this constantly
