I was scammed by a flashing screen coming up on my phone saying my phone was compromised to call a number which I did. Then they told me to get 2 iTunes cards for 50 each. And I gave them the numbers off each card plus they have all my card information. Can I have the cards canceled or not. Then they said I needed to get a 500 dollar card and I told them no way I was done
