I received a call and was told I owed Amazon for 2 computers that I never purchased. They told me I owed $1000.00. They transferred me to a fraud representative and they accused me of money laundering. They had my full name which was unusual because I never provide that, they also had my address. They told me to take a picture of my drivers license and text it to them. They told me I had 7 bank accounts and asked which banks I used. They asked me for the last 4 of my SSN and I hung up.

A hiring ad on Craigslist for customer service/ data entry. I submitted my resume via Craigslist and the following day I receive a text message from an Amber Davis, stating that they sent my resume to the HR dept and a Daniel Woods will contact me once my background was received and confirmed. That was really suspicious because no phone call was made to me, no interview, no email confirmation, just text. The link for the background was also suspicious. No employer ever, has sent me no type of onboarding process without an interview first. No employer ever asked me for my credit check, my medical info, workers compensation, general reputation, ect... No employer ever text me. Scamers are trying to get personal information

Called and stated they were from a company That I purchase from. Wanted to verify if I had made a large purchase. I told them no. Then I was tranfer to a fraud unit of the bank. The person who said he was from the bank said I had a red flay on my Social security. Unfortunately he ask for my birthday and the last four numbers of my social security. Which I gave. Then I was transferred to a person supported work for Social security. I then hung up because then I realized it was a scam.

Called Amazon because there were charges on my account that i did not make. They wanted me to download an app and when i did, my computer stated it was a warning because they were trying to get all my information from me. When I told them I wasnt going to do it, they called me an *** and asked if i believed in God. I told them they were being unprofessional and they hung up on me. I called back hoping i would get another person but it appeared the whole place knew who i was and once again was trying to get me to download the same app and telling me not to call the bank. They said that someone was trying to steal my money which they were the ones trying to get my financial information to steal my money!!!

The person on this line indicated they were with the amazon fraud department. They said a purchase had been made under my account and wanted to confirm it was me. They already had my name and date of birth and phone number. They told me that an extra account had been set up in my name on amazon and that they needed to transfer me to the FTC specialist so that all extra accounts in my name could be closed. When I told them that I would call the Amazon fraud department back myself directly on their number, he called me an [censored] and told me that it was people like me that allowed scammers to get away with things like this. When I called Amazon, they checked and told me that there was only one account set up in my name.

They called. Kept asking if I ordered something from Amazon or $1500. Kept trying to get me to say yes to a question. I did not say anything but no because I've heard of scams trying to get your voice saying yes. I hung up.

Don't do business with a seller who directs you off the Amazon website. This was found on avoiding payment scams. I found a number on Google and called it Which immediately changed to 877-532-0770. ( Looking that # up on Google showed Miloslav Currin). He had me pull up an app called "quick support-teamviewer Samsung", So he could control my Phone. He had me pull up my bank account and asked if I had Zelle so he could refund my money since he couldn't refund to discover. He had asked me for the last 4 of Discover and my social security #. He never asked for my Amazon account. After talking awhile we got disconnected and he called me back on 352-604-8073 and I was on hold most of the time for 34 minutes. Don't trust Google but go into your account of whatever and find their information or phone number to use.

A person posted a job posting in a town facebook group. Then we messaged each other and was referred to contact another person (hiring manager) thru text message, I did all necessary steps. Because it was a remote position it seemed legit. My resume was emailed to the person and to finish application process they need to verify my application (drivers license & SS #). They wanted to do a face recognition & that’s when I said no more. I filed a police report and did all necessary steps to protect my credit.

Scammers used Amazon logo to sell mystery box online. Seeing this logo thinking it's legit I ordered the 49.99 mystery box. After I placed the order I got a generic "order received" email. I checked out the website reviews and realized that others have been scammed by them. So I immediately request a refund and contacted PayPal but they couldn't do anything because I didn't get a cancellation number. It's been more than three days since the order was placed and I have not received a tracking number nor a cancellation number.

I received a phone stating they were from Amazon verifying a $1900 gaming computer. If i did not order this press one. When i pressed one a man came on verifying my name and address, he had it all. Then proceeded to tell me someone had hacked my account and he could but safeguards in place. At this point i hung up as i was pretty sure it was a scam. This happened at 11:35 am 6/28/2023.

Call from someone saying they were from Amazon (Kaylee Madison) and they saw two other accounts were set up using my personal info. Asked questions if I could identify addresses, names, items. Gave me a Complaint # which I later verified and the real Amazon could not identify, nor find other accounts in my name etc. The supposed Amazon employee offered to transfer me to FTC, and I spoke to Elly Warren. Went through the same drill of seeing if I had accounts w/certain banks, credit cards, people and addresses I could identify. Then transferred to OIG, Sotiris (Ted) Planzos (who sent me his badge ID). Told me I was being investigated for money laundering because large amounts were being sent to Mexico and Columbia under accounts with my personal info. He said they were going to seize my assets and since he was "representing me" I should withdraw most of the money out of my checking/savings accounts to avoid having the funds seized. I actually went to one bank and withdrew money but when he said to go to a machine and deposit the money in exchange for a Government Security Vault Card. After this was deposited they would issue me a new social security card and a person would be delivering it along with other documents to read and sign within the next 24 hours. At that point I said I was not going to do anything until I had time to think about what had happened. I was so busy taking notes I did not see all the red flags. He then said he would transfer me to the FBI and verify he was legitimate and to proceed. This FBI gentleman, James Hoffman, basically said the same thing and I had to act quickly to avoid having to go to court. They said under the 1987 Money Act this was what was happening. I wanted to research and basically hung up on them. I tried to upload a copy of the badge he sent, but it does not seem to work. I did unfortunately text my drivers' license to him. There were 2 phone numbers he used because one time we were disconnected. 407-588-6451 & 443-533-3297. He said under Subsection 42B I could not mute or disconnect the phone call, nor discuss with anyone for 24 hours. Sounds ridiculous now to type this, cannot believe that I fell for the call for such a long time.

After trying to install Amazon Prime on a newly bought Xfinity Flex box, I was instructed on my tv to call a number for help with installation. I was told to install a desktop mirror imaging program so they could see what was happening on my phone and tv. I was told there was suspicious activity on my Amazon Prime account, and they needed to make a few charges on one of my cards on record at Amazon to verify it was me. So they made a charge for a $100 credit for playstation at Amazon.com. I was told these charges would all be reversed after my account had been verified. Then they made two more charges for $300 each with Vanilla Bean Gift cards. I was instructed to turn over the card so they could read the back of them. Well, I am embarrassed that I followed these instructions anyway, even though I told the "tech" I wasn't comfortable with any of this. He kept reassuring me he was a 3rd level tech support guy named Jerry. BS...he was from India, and we had a hard time understanding him. So after my credit card company said I had to okay these charges, I stupidly did this. Kiss my money gone then! It was a costly mistake, and now I worry about the vulnerability my internet tv may have. What can I do to stop future scans like this ?

I was having problems with my Amazon order so I searched “Amazon customer service number”. So anxious and not even thinking, I clicked the first number I saw. When the scammer picked up they acted as if they were Amazon help center and that they were going to guide me in the process. They told me to download an app call “any desk” so that they can monitor my screen and “guide” me. In the process they made me transfer funds to my cash app then guided me to bitcoin and made me transfer the money thru bitcoin. In that process I had ti verify my account and take a picture of my identification card. They were able to see all of that. The whole point was to receive an Amazon reward for my order problems but I was not thinking.
