Type of a scam Phishing
This phone number called me saying that they were with Venmo, and were calling to dispute a charge they got for $100 out of my account. They said this looked out of pocket as the state I am from is not the one where the charge came from. They then said they would be sending a text code to my phone and I simply needed to repeat the number back to them. Then the conversation got even more weird as I did not receive the texts, and the man said he would use my email to contact me with a code. I received no email from them, but instead got a text with a link to change my password. The man then instructed me to change my password to "Venmo####" with the # being the last four digits of my phone number. Thinking this was suspicious I hung up, but I wanted to warn as this can happen to anyone!

They called to say that someone was trying to get into my account and move money around to foreign accounts. They sent me a code to read to them similar to this situation: https://www.wafb.com/2020/06/12/scam-alert-use-caution-when-answering-calls-alle…⇄
