I Googled the phone number for SiriusXM to have our plan moved to the new car.  Totally forgot I had the number in my phone.  NOT Americans but aren't we all used to that.  They made a deal for 38 months for $190.  Got all my banking info   A possible fraud alert popped up on my computer.  I verified it was legit.  I called my bank.  Girl at the bank said Sirius would id themselves as Sirius, not tv-radio entertainment whatever.  

I was already paid up thru Apil 2026 with Sirius and got the plan transferred.  Alerted my bank and am "fixing" to call the scammers.

When you buy a new car usually the dealership will offer Sirius for a few months for free.  I would have thought that they would give you the phone number.

Anyway, I hope you get it straightened out!

Something "similar" happened to me.   I was charged ON BOTH  OF MY VISA CARDS for "services by a dentist"  who was NOT MINE.   

My credit cards are from different banks...and they both took care of the FRAUD claims that I made with them.     

It's getting scary...I now check my purchases on the computer right away, to make sure something "fishy" didn't take place.     di

I wish I had the knowledge and tools that SP (scammer payback on YT) has.  I could make them sweat before crashing their computers.  Back to the phone.

The last thing you should do is call them back.

I believe @monicakm  was "joking"....(she's a pretty smart cookie!)  di

Rut ro.  I guess my cookie has crumbled   I called them back.  If they don't reverse that charge and my bank has to take care of it, I have to cancel my debit card and that whole ordeal is even worse.

I was run over by a car years ago...and have a lot of "hardware" in one leg, including a large BOLT right thru my ankle.   I walk with a slight "limp".

RECENTLY, I received two phone calls with the caller ID "Maricopa County Health Department".    They wanted to SEE ME about my "bad knee".   

I have NO IDEA who initiated the phone calls...or HOW they got my phone number, but it was also some kind of "scam".   I hung up on them TWICE.     di
