You get an email that says "we paid invoice XYZ in the amount of $___.__," but since you didn't make a purchase, you freak out and click the link in the email or call the number. If you click the link, you're asked to login and they then have your login to your account. If you call the number, then they scam you that way.

I have received similar emails. I've also received emails about HUGE contract renewals for various other places. I just found this one in my junk folder
I figure that much. I never open anything since my wife screams at me everything I ask if she bought anything from these places. I get them from text too now in the past couple months.
