I've gotten a couple of phone scams lately (this year). One is the now-famous Amazon Customer Service representative who calls and says that a $749 charge is being made to my Amazon account and I need to contact the following number to resolve the issue blah blah.
This one was on my answering machine today -

A quick Google showed me it is another scam. I almost fell for it, as
Road & Track magazine has been trying to get me to re-subscribe. But it's just another scam.
I get four or five calls a day that do not leave a message. I stopped answering the phone. I just wait for the call to end and star-69 it to see where it might be coming from. I doubt the reverse number is correct, but it gives me something to Google and confirm it's a scammer.
