I may have been scammed. [View all]

I got a voice message. ( I hate this new trick to plant a message without a phone call to start with.)
The message was that I was being charged $600.00 for an iPhone. Please press1 to dispute this charge. Pressed 1. And the message repeated. Rinse & repeat.

I called my credit card company and was told it is a scam.

Now,what? What information could they have gotten. Or is it juvenile trick? What might be the next surprise?
