A friend of mine posted this comment on Facebook last night. I trust him on this information and thought it would be good to pass on.
"Had a scam attempted on me last evening. got a Robo call stating that my debit/credit cards have been revoked and to press 1 to contunue. so I pressed 1 The same robot asked for my card number... I hung up and called my Bank directly and as I knew no such thing had happened... just a heads up.."
Never give your personal information, account numbers or social security number over the phone unless you are 100% CERTAIN of the person on the other end.

Deborah, good warning to everyone. The FTC has put a stop to robocallers for anything regarding debt or credit cards. I would report that phone number to the FTC.
I have Time Warner Cable with Digital Phone, so the caller ID comes up on my TV. If it's an inbound 800 number or other such number, I don't even answer it, but good advice anyway
