What is this scam?

Telemarketing scams cover a wide variety of different robocalls. Most often they involve sales of products and services. These products and services are either non-existent, counterfeit, or unreasonably priced. While many telemarketing and sales scams target businesses, individuals aren't beyond their reach, either. Telemarketing scammers often request payment via gift cards or wire transfer -- payment methods that legitimate businesses do not accept. If you're being offered a product or service over the phone, always be wary.
