We received a live (not robo) call from [Removed] today. The caller, a gentleman with a heavy accent (Asian/Indian?) indicated that the payment method for our annual license service had been declined. I recognized immediately that it was a scam attempt and told him that I’d log into our account and take care of the issue. He promptly hung up. I reported this via chat and email to [email address removed] but thought I'd share here as a warning to other users.
