We have just been made aware of an upsetting new Zoom scenario. We have multiple reports from other Regions about an abusive caller all who is getting phone numbers from oa.org and texting/calling members and then wants to talk on Zoom.
DO NOT GET ON ZOOM WITH THEM. You can ask how they got your information, but do not give them any personal information. Note the following:
- Please be aware if you get a text from an unknown number mentioning they want more information about OA. At first it may seem legitimate.
- Do NOT give them any personal information.
- They don’t want to talk on the phone – they want to Zoom with you. They will mention that they will send you a link; do NOT click on any links they send you.
- Do not get on a Zoom call with them.
- There have been instances of pornography and other obscenities, so do not click on any link (Zoom or otherwise) they send.
This is an abusive caller, and you may want to block their number.
