Never, never, never, download something because someone called and told you to download it. I get phony transaction notifications, purportedly from Amazon, often. Never click a link in an email: never. I just log onto Amazon as I normally would, and there are no pending transactions. I make it a point to never trust an incoming call. Yes, it’s that bad. If a business calls you, get the name of the person making the call, then call back their published number and ask for that person. Trust no one, not even me; especially me. 🙂

I am extremely cautious. I also don’t do business over the phone.
That’s a good policy.
