The caller (recording) said that they were alerting me to a possible fraudulent charge of 499.99 to my amazon account and to press 1 to speak to their cyber ___________ department. (Sorry, can't remember exactly what they called the department).

I used my Amazon account to order new headphones for my nephew. The same day he got them delivered, I got a text addressing him, saying congratulations, he came in 1st in March's Amazon pods raffle. Link: v8t\fzc.info/3bBUWPetKw

 

- Gilroy, CA, USA

I purchased a TV from Amazon, (an Insignia fireTV) and after connecting to my WiFi and downloading updates, it gave me an activation code to me to enter into my Amazon account. The activation code failed, and the TV display said to call 1-844-220-0545 for support. The person answering claimed to be an Amazon support tech and said he could help resolve this. To do this, he needed us to load Anydesk Remote control on our phone and then on a computer. He then told us the issue was that our Amazon account had been red flagged for suspicious use, and that he would help us get refunds for the items purchased. He then attempted to get us to give him our bank information to get the refunds sent to us. At this point we basically hung up, disconnected and reset everything (including passwords etc. He threatened that this would cause our Amazon account to be deleted, and at that point we were sure this was a scam.

Received a text message from an unknown number. They addressed me by name and stated “you still have $130 Amazon Bonus credit: [scam link] See what you can buy before it expires on 03/21 [same scam link]

- Gary, IN, USA

Person called impersonating an Amazon staff member stating that someone had attempted to purchase a new iPhone on my account and he will help me with reporting this transaction. He then instructed me to go to the Anydesk website and download their remote desk software and allow them access to my computer. At that point I realized something was "fishy" about the situation, so I ended the call.

- Nampa, ID, USA

"Amazon" called me about 30 minutes ago. I did answer but did not speak to anyone. It was a message that stated to press 1 if I did not make a purchase. I called them back but phone number was not a working phone number.

- Cleveland, OH, USA

see above. The e-mail looked like an official Amazon order for a Delores Marshall in Dallas. The phone number was displayed on the order. Since I didn't want to get charged for $800 for something I didn't order, I called the number. A man with a foreign accent told me that in order to not get charged for the order, I needed to close my paypal account. He had me install UltraViewer on my computer. When it came up with a screen showing the codes for remotely controlling my computer, I got suspicious when he kept asking for the code. When I told him that I thought this was a scam, and that I wouldn't give him the code, he hung up.

- Peoria, IL, USA

Amazon called me and said that I had several charges made through amazon. 1 was for a $1500 pair of shoes and for a $300 gift card. The next day they called and said that I had another $100 charge for a gift card that I did not purchase, I do not have an amazon account. I called back one of the numbers and I asked to speak for the supervisor and was told that they could not transfer me.

- Flowery Branch, GA, USA

Recording saying your account had unusual activity so we froze your account, to speak to an agent press 1. I just hung up. I went on line and check account. Everything was fine.

- Hercules, CA, USA

The male at (480) 501-2704 called me at 7:07 am this morning with a recorded message that my Amazon account had been used to purchase an IPhone 11 for $1,000 or something like that. I then dialed 2 to speak with him, where he claimed to work with Amazon, and hung up on me when I asked whether he was a scammer. Of course, there is no such transaction in my Amazon account. I called the number back twice; now a female answers, claiming to only speak Spanish.

- Essex, MD, USA

I received an email from what I thought was Amazon stating :order summary and order confirmation saying that my order of a mac pro lap top would arrive in 5 to 10 business days. Going to be shipped to a Barry M. Brenner at 17499 Demur Ln. Spring Hill New Port Richie, FL 34653. My email was set up just like an amazon web page, it had view and manage click on and when I clicked that on it came up exactly like the real page. It gave me an order number to refer to. The web page said if I had any questions to call this 800-730-9810 number. So I called. W2hen they answered the phone thank you for calling Amazon this (I can not remember his name) how can I help you. So I let him know that I did not order this item and got this, Don't worry ******* we will take care of it with a refund. I let him know that no money has come out of my account, he told me there is another amount charged and would give me the credit now so I didn't have to wait until it comes in. So he was giving me some numbers to put in my web browser at this point he took over my computer and was able to get all of my bank information. Had to call my bank and shut down my account. Also, I had you shut down my laptop so he would not get any new information. I am lucky I guess because I had a spare laptop to start using and no money came out of my account. Oh they asked for my birthdate and I told him I don't feel comfortable giving that out.
