On Jan 10, 2022 at 2.19 pm I received a call from 540-235-6889 saying that they were from Amzon customer service team, and they have noticed an iPhone purchase on my Amazon account worth $1400. My card associated with the account was charged. When I said I couldn’t see any such transaction, they said that the bad actors are probably masking that is making it unable to see this. For them to securely submit the claim and refund me the money, they would need to send it over via a secure connection, for which I need to download a software. They provided me with the link and I followed the steps. The asked me to fill in a Google doc form with my name, address, last 4 digits of the card and the amount $1400. They asked me to hit submit, and when I did, they asked me to read out the confirmation. The confirmation showed that I will be refunded $14,000. They said I may have made an error, which I didn’t, but they insisted it was on my part, and the simple solution was that they would let me keep the $1400, but I would have to refund the rest. By this time, they provided me an option to talk with the supervisor, Peter. This Peter send me the picture of his Amazon job ID card, which had amazon prime logo on top, from the number 501-594-2514. Peter then asked me to log into my card account, to check that indeed they have transferred the money and I could see the amount being credited. This Peter was on the call with me the entire time.

Now Peter says that Amazon needs the money back, and it has to be B-2-B (between two business units) and I can’t possibly pay them personal, since that would be a violation of the tax agreements. The way I can do this would be to purchase gift cards - Amazon, GooglePlay, Apple, Target, Sephora, Nordstrom or vanilla visa card - either the same kinds or a combination of these, $500 on each to make up for the $12,600. I said I don’t have that much amount of purchasing limit, and he said it would be fine if we could get half of that, to save me from any trouble. I need to take my card and my driving license.

I went to Stop&Shop, Target, ShopRite and CVS to purchased 3 Target, 1 Amazon, 2 Nordstrom, 1 Sephora and 3 vanilla visa cards, each worth $500. After this, my credit card company have frozen my account (thankfully), and I told Peter that I can’t purchase anything anymore. They said they would call back again the next day (Jan 11, 2022), and they are disconnecting for today. Throughout the call Peter kept on saying that the call is being recorded and not to put him on mute, since that would affect his ratings with his superiors. He also said he appreciated the effort that I was making and would try to compensate me from his own salary. I was frustrated by this time, and I disconnected the call.

I started getting a bad feeling about this a couple of hours later, and did look up on Google to see if this was a scam, and realized I was scammed.

I received a real-looking email from Amazon.com (Receipt Confirmation to blackerbyjj, bcc: me)

indicating purchase of a $2,000 TV. While trying to figure out the purchase and cooperating with the "Amazon representative," I finally decided the caller wanted credit card information. Already having the last four digits of my credit card, she needed the expiration date. Although I ended the call, three hours later the scammer sent another email that appeared more authentic than the first. Since the incidents, I have reported the scam to Amazon and cancelled that credit card number.

At first, I had not noticed the sender's info:

"Receipt Confirmation

11:18 AM (5 hours ago)

to blackerbyjj, bcc: me"

I just received a call on my home phone saying they were with Amazon. I had an outstanding bill of $961. This is upsetting. I just got out of the hospital. I don't buy anything from Amazon. I don't even know Amazon. I do not have the phone number that called. I could not tell if it was a live person or a recording. Caller wanted me to do something. I said no. I said I am calling the Better Business Bureau and hung up. I assume this is a scam. I thought it was best I hang up.

Sent me a email. When I opened it said it was a invoice for a Amazon purchase.Had a name that wasn’t mine. At the main bottom of the invoice had a phone number to call if I didn’t not purchase the IPhone 13 Max. Call the number to get a refund. I called and them there wasn’t a purchase on my account for $999.00 told me it wouldn’t show up for 24 hrs and that’s why I need to cancel it right away. Told me to go the App Store on my iPhone and type in deskscam. I told them I wasn’t doing that cause it would give them access to everything on my phone. Said she was going to to call ScamPulse.com to make sure it was safe. Well needless to say they hung up on me. Be careful of what they want you to do.

The number called with an automated number saying I had a fraudulent charge on my Amazon account. I asked to speak to a rep. I asked that they remove me from their scam list. The person hung up on me. I then received 3 calls in a row from the above listed number. The gentleman said “please take me off your scam list” and hung up on me.

I received a call with an automated message identifying the caller as a worker at amazon. This person said my Amazon account had been hacked, that an iPhone was purchased using my account and to hold for the next agent who would help me freeze my account and collect my money. No such thing happened and I was not hacked.

I received a call from a person claiming to be Amazon orders. The person states I ordered over $1000.00 in product from amazon. I advised the caller that I would never order something for that cost. The caller then advise me to pull up a website and they will walk me through the steps to claim my order. When I refused to do it the caller threaten me stating they will sue me. The caller was arguementive and then hung up on me. It appears that the caller was fishing for information to pull up my account. I'm sharing my story therefore no one will become a victim to this scam.

Hello, a few hours ago I was contacted by a person that said his name was Luke calling from Amazon about a fraudulent charge made. He said that someone tried to purchase an i phone from my Amazon account and they were going to deliver the phone to Georgia today. He asked me what kind of computer I used and wanted to remotely check the purchase online. He asked me if I have online banking and wanted me to open up my Amazon account and my internet banking. Luke asked me to run a program in order to remotely check the purchase and said that our call would be cut in and out because of poor internet access. I caught on and told him that I wasn't going to open up my banking info and that they should be able to tell on their end if a purchase was made. I had already ran the program for remote access but asked him to close it and I deleted it from my computer. Hopefully I did it in time before he had any personal info. They already knew my name and phone number.

Received attached text. Link leads to a call. Agent then states computer being purchased on my Amazon account. Confirms address and name then states it is too late to stop purchase from Mexico but if I give them my bank info they will work with bank.

Hung up at that point.
