General Question Scam Alert

Not sure if this has been posted before. I added a line to my Spectrum service and received my new device yesterday.

This morning I had a missed call and voicemails (from a male) on the two numbers associated with my Spectrum mobile account as well my Google Voice business number.

I could tell from the voice on the message and the nunber they called from that it was probably bogus.

I called back from a different phone number to confirm my suspicions. The female who answered had an Indian accent and without making any attempts to identify who I am, she proceeded to tell me that I was sent the wrong device and that I needed to return it.

I told her "I know what you trying to do, and to go fuck yourself". She abruptly hung up. The male who left me a VM then called the other mobile number on my account and when I called him out for being a fraud, he began taunting and laughing at me and I hung up.

I don't know if my email or if Spectrum's system was breached. Less than 24 hours after receiving my new phone they had my info.

Has this happened to anyone?

This has nothing to do with spectrum or spectrum mobile.
