I received a text message stating I came in 1st in March's Amazon pods raffle. Refused to follow the link. Read that these are likely fraudulent and didn't want to take the risk.

I received a text that I had came in second place for Amazon's pod raffle with a link. Luckily I was smart enough to not click on anything aside from opening the message.

I looked up the scam, assuming what it was to begin with, to have it verified. However, the one thing I experienced which I did not see in any of my research was that it was trying to send a confirmation receipt back to the number. I canceled it out so it wouldn't send and they would not receive confirmation that my number is in use. Obviously doesn't prevent them from trying to call but don't need to make this easier for them either. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize so they won't get anywhere with me regardless.

I did want to share this so that if anyone has their phone set up to automatically confirm read requests or not paying attention and just hitting okay is more aware.

I received a text that read...."Amazon:Congratulations Pamela, you cam e3rd in this week's Amazon pods raffle! Clink the link to :a2gcv.info/h02cpJpMhy".

I have deleted the message from my phone. I was not victimized by this text because it was obvious that it was a scam but it may not be so obvious to others.

I received another call from Amazon. The first time they stated Amazon Prime. I don't answer the phone. It was a robocall. The message stated hope you and your family are doing great. This is Alice with Amazon customer Service. If I made a purchase today of $949.99 they will deliver to me. The message was difficult to understand. Call Billing and Fraud Department 866-491-3534 or press 1. I don't have an Amazon account. I did not call the number back. The message ended with have a great day. I called Amazon. They told me it was a scam.

I think posing as Amazon promising delivery of Sony 82 Inch HD Ultra 4K TV (GBD556565) for $1,174.00 to John Smith, 425 Lake view Road austin, TX 95123. Also, Austin was spelled with a lowercase "a" and view was spelled with a lowercase "v".

My answering machine only caught half of the call. It said Amazon would be delivering a purchase. If I did not make the purchase, then I was to call 808-515-5971. This is not Amazon's official Help telephone number.

I initially got a text about my delivery from USPS was changed. So, I had opened it and it appeared as Amazon getting my order, and it was also Amazon Prime Day, which told me to enter my survey afterwards. Then it said that I had a won an iPad, and then took me to another website saying that, all they needed was $1 for delivery of the prize. So, I entered my card information and proceeded with it. There was a timer at the top, which made me rush it, without second guessing what was going on. Afterwards is when I read on it and found out that there is apparently this scam that has been going on. So, this is why I had decided to report it.

Text message stating you’re eligible to win iPad Pro. Just pay for shipping ($1) Asks for credit card info, then redirected to another site to say “sorry” all out of that prize but how about this crap.

I immediately blocked debit card for any additional charges.

My mother received an email regarding an Amazon order for an Xbox and tv totaling $6,500. The email said if it was not her who made this purchase to click on a link to call this number: 1-866-959-4744. When she called, a person who said their name was Ron explained that her Amazon account had been hacked and that these hackers had her credit card info as well as her son & daughters credit info. They told her that her credit info had been sold to multiple states and that she needed to buy gift cards so that she could help them catch the scammers. My mother drove to four different stores and purchased $6,000 worth of gift cards. The person on the phone referred to himself as Kevin Jones and told my mother that she needed to give him the PIN numbers on the gift cards. They sent her text messages saying that Amazon was refunding her credit cards while she was providing them with the gift card pins. After spending hours on the phone, my mother explained that she was tired and needed to go home. The scammer told her that she only needed two more gift cards to get the scammers, but that she could go home to rest and that they would contact her the following day. They have continued to call and text her multiple times a day for the past three days.

My mother received an email from what appeared to be Amazon.com confirming an order on her Amazon account for a television set, with a shipping location in another state. The email included a link to "View or Manage Order", as well as a phone number to call "if you did not place this order". My mother called the phone number (800-624-4898) to inquire about the order, as the logo of the email looked like it was from Amazon and that there was an unauthorized purchase on her account. She spoke with a man who had very broken English. This, combined with his pushy tone and requests for information, made her realize this was a scam and she hung up the phone before she gave any personal identifiable information; however, someone who has not been informed of what to look for could easily fall prey to this email scam. The body of the email contains several grammatical mistakes, but she did not notice these before calling the number to report the order.

Yesterday, I got a message on my Kindle that I needed to update my credit card in order to pay for something that I had bought and they had charged it to my old credit card and the request for payment had been rejected.

Quick history, the day previously I tried to get online ,with my bank account. I was blocked by what I thought was Microsoft who alleged that my laptop had been taken over. I in the midst of trying to straighten things out, I discovered that I was not talking to Microsoft, but rather a Spanish computer outfit that wanted to charge me nearly $700 to make my laptop okay again. That struck a nerve. Some years ago, I paid some pretty big bucks to what I thought was Garmin to ake my laptop okay again, and after giving them the money I discovered it was NOT Garmin, but rather some fly-by-night computernicks. So, I backed out of the order, and went to my bank of more than a decade to get a new debit card.

Today, I tried to call the number that Amazon gave me to call to update my debit card number. However, when I called the number that they gave me, a voice told me that the number I called was not operational and gave me another number instead. I have to admit I wondered about that--Amazon is a pretty tightly run ship. However, I called the number that they gave, and ended up talking to a Kevin Mall (Number AM-103781, (669) 350-0497) after I had changed my Debit card number. Kevin kept insisting that Amazon had suffered monetary damage from its relation with me, and set off some dummy tests, including a $25 payment on me. I told him I am retired and did not want to be charged that amount. He assured me that I would not be charged. Later, he was telling me that some scammers were using my data to do damage to Amazon. I told him that I was not being charged and flipped to my bank account to show him that I was not being charged, only to find out that my bank account had been charged with the $25 dollars that was not supposed to be charged to me. He panicked and said I would not be charged. I decided that something smelled and declined to participate further.

I want someone at Amazon to get in touch with me. I don't understand how they could give me a phone number to call and then tell me it was no longer in use when I called. I also don't know where I am with regard to updating my Debit card (Did it take or not?)
