Type of a scam Identity Theft

I received an email that was identified as "Customer Service." There was no company logo. The subject line read "Reminder: Successfully logged in from a different device. I opened the email. The Amazon logo was at the top of the message. The message read: We have suspended your orders and Amazon account because we detected unusual activity on it. You can unlock your account by logging in to your account and following the on-screen instructions. At the bottom of the email was a link that the email instructed that I used to log in to my account. It also read for me to follow the instructions in my account notifications to see what information I needed to provide. Because I suspected the email to be a scam, I went to my Amazon account via the app on my phone. I did not see anything suspicious with my account. Wanting to confirm that my account was okay, I did a google search on Get Human for a customer service number for Amazon and called it. I explained to the man who answered the phone (who had a very thick accent that if I had to guess was of someone from the country of India) that I had received an email regarding my account and I wanted to check and see if my account was okay. I gave him my name and when he supposedly looked at my account, he said that my account had been hacked by people from several states in the US and Russia and China. He said that in order to prove that I was not in any of the locations where the charges had been made I needed to buy a gift card so they could confirm my location with the store that I bought it from. I told him that I could not do it at that time, but he kept insisting that I had to take care of this urgently. He stayed on the phone while I went to the store to buy a 25 dollar gift card. He said that He needed to use the code on the card to correct my problem. While I was in the check out line, I pressed the area where there was a link at the top of the email that I was sent that revealed where the email had been sent from. What appeared was [email protected]. I asked why the email did not have amazon on it and he said that they had a number of people who were working from different locations. I told him I thought he was scamming me. He said, ma'am, you called me.

While he was working on it, he insisted that I stay in the parking lot of the store where I bought the card. He was able to tell me exactly where I was. While he was working on the problem he asked me if I had checked my bank account to see if there were any problems with it. Even as I was checking my account, I questioned whether or not he was able to see what I was doing or detect what my password was.

While he was working on my account I was receiving emails from Amazon regarding a sign in from a new device, a one time password and change in my password. I asked him about the emails and he told me that it was him working on my account and that's why I was receiving those emails.

He supposedly was able to correct the the problem with the charges made in the US, but the code would not work for the ones outside the country. He then said that I needed to buy two more cards for 100 dollars each to correct the problem with the charges made from China and Russia. When I told him I did not have the money to do that, he suggested I use my credit card. When I said I did not have enough money on my credit card, he suggested that I go to the bank and get a debit card. When I told him I would not do that he got angry. I told him that he could just close my account. He said that until this problem was resolved he could not close my account. I asked what exactly was he doing with the account. He said securing it against further hacking activity. I said if he closed my account, there would be no more danger of that. He couldn't give me a good reason for not closing my account. We argued; then he transferred my call to another man with the same sort of thick accent. When the second man could not answer my questions to my satisfaction, I asked to be sent to a manager. The third man had the same sort of accent. His explanation for why my account could not be canceled was that my account was frozen and would remain that way until he had the codes from the gift cards to open the account. When I continued to refuse to buy the cards, he told me that my account would no longer be frozen in 24 hours and the bad guys would be able to get into my account again. When I still refused and asked him what other options we had, he said that he was authorized to put my account on hold for up to 15 days. He said he would put it on hold 9 days but I would have to He gave me his name and a telephone number and told me to make sure just to call him when I got the cards. He said his name was Walter Cooper and his phone number was 360-722-5065. He said I could also use the toll free number I had called him on 833-528-0919 and use extension 70. He said I needed to get 2 two hundred dollar gift cards. When I asked why the amount went up, he said that if he told me 100 dollars and it did not work then I would get angry because I would then have to get cards for 200 dollars. He added that the call was being recorded and he did not want to get fired because he gave me misinformation.

A week later, before I attempted to call him back, I used my app to confirm with Amazon that this was a legitimate transaction. The customer service lady that I spoke with told me that there was never anything wrong with my account and that the call I had made to them must have been diverted directly to the people who scammed me. There was no record of the call I had with the three men in their system.

I get a call from this New Jersey number, they claim to be Amazon, give me an Amazon order number and tell me an order was placed using my account for over $1000 and they thought it looked suspicious so they were calling me. It was a recorded message, asking me to hit 1 to connect with an agent. I did, they go thru the "problem" - an order for an iPhone over $1000 that looked suspicious. They then confirmed my name and as I'm about to say something they hang up. I've been scammed. I confirmed my full name and they had they number, so they were able to tie my name to my number.

We keep getting phone calls from various burner phones, all saying the same thing:

“Hi this is Molly from Amazon Support, we’ve received notice of a charge for $729 generating from Dayton Ohio, if you wish to dispute this charge, please press 1.”

I pressed 1, and always get the same thing, a guy with an Indian accent, who eventually wants me to log into my computer. I always refuse and they hang up on me. I just want the calls to stop, and I don’t know how to make them.

Type of a scam Phishing

I got a scam call from (903) 743-3125 which I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. I let it go to a message on my recorder which said to call (980) 265-3371 because I was being charged $279.99 to Amazon, and to cancel the order at Amazon Customer Service at that number. When I called that number to ask what the $279.99 was for, the guy who answered with a lot of chatter in the background, he said I ordered Amazon on my computer. I told him I don't have a computer so I couldn't have ordered it. Then he said I ordered on my laptop. I told him that I don't have a laptop either so to just cancel it. He was speechless and I hung up. (It's true that I don't have a computer or laptop because I'm technologically impaired. I never know what button to press?) If I need airline reservations to be made on-line, I tell my daughter to do it for me.

I got a call from telephone number 321-015-5295. The recording stated I was going to be charged $199 for Amazon Prime because I failed to cancel the membership. The recording told me to press 1 to speak to a representative. When I got a representative on the line, he gave me instructions on how to cancel the membership. However the instructions involved him trying to gain access to my computer by accepting to download a program that provided an ID and password that he wanted me to give to him. When I got to that point, I hung up the phone without giving him that information. I realized something wasn't right.

Type of a scam Phishing

I received a phone call from +1-905-502-4453. I answered (assuming it was a scam) and there was an automated message that someone had spent $1500 on an iPhone through my Amazon account. There were two options: 1 (no explanation what that would do) or 2 (decline charges). I pressed 2 and spoke to Henry, a man with a strong Indian accent and clearly in call center. He asked me if the charge was fraudulent and if I accepted charges, then sent me to http://www.consumerid.net/. He told me to press "refund 2" and it initiated a download of TeamViewer. I said I didn't need help filling out the form and he told me that I didn't have access to the form otherwise. At that point, I told him I knew it was a scam. After talking to him for a bit (just to keep him on the line at that point), he told me he loved me and that he wanted to leave the business but couldn't find a job. I said I was reporting him and he told me I should talk to his brother, Steve, the senior supervisor at ScamPulse.com and the FTC. He transferred me to Steve and Steve told me he was the senior supervisor (not of anything). I asked if he was the supervisor of the ScamPulse.com and FTC and that that role wasn't a thing. He hung up. I tried calling back the number, but I received a "mailbox full" message.

It started with an automated voice claiming something about fraud on my amazon account and to press 1 to be directed to the fraud department. I was then connected with a woman who gave me her name and ID number and claimed someone had used my account to buy a new iPhone for a price over $300 dollars. When I stated I didn't see it on my order list she said it was from an experienced hacker who used software to keep it from showing up on my account. When I asked for proof or a call back number she was not able to give one but frantically stated that if I didn't fill out the form within 30 minutes I would not be able to refund my money. I took a "chance" and hung up and contacted amazon who said my account was fine and it was fraud. The really odd thing is when I called the number back that they used it led to the bbb.org's call center. Just be aware.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

The person represented themselves as an employee of Amazon on-line shopping services. They stated that they were verifying a recent purchase on my Amazon account of an I-Phone. The location for the shipment was not known to me, but I did not tell the representative anything at that point. They wanted to verify the order and confirm estimated delivery time. I informed them that I did not order such a product. They stated that they would be able to help me with a stop payment request and instigate a claim against the charge. They wanted to know how I accessed my Amazon acct....i.e. by phone, tablet, laptop, etc... I at that point, I informed them that I would contact Amazon directly myself and not through their phone call since I could neither verify that they were actually working for Amazon or that any such charge existed to my account. **No such charge existed. It was a scam to collect my Amazon information. AMAZON CLIENT BEWARE!!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Amazon, saying that I ordered an iPhone 8 for about $200 and that it has already been billed and shipped. I called them back at the same number they called me, 6198542293, because I never ordered and iPhone and do not want one. The guy I spoke with was rude and said that I did order it. I also tried to speak with a supervisor but it sounded like I was still speaking to the same man who was threatening and verbally abusive. They said they charged my account by the account linked to Amazon is not a valid account anymore. I told him he was being recorded because I knew this is a scam and he got even more angry and rude, then hung up. I called Amazon and gave them the phone #, they said that it's not linked to them whatsoever.

The scam. A recorded call staying their is a phone being shipped out tomorrow or today by Amazon on your account would you verify. An operator gets on and trying to pump you for info. This happen twice so far, the first call I told the person doesn't live at this number remove me, they hung up. The second call I ask for a contact number again hinging up. Unknown if they ask for money, hinging up when I start to question them for contact information. If they're from Amazon why not give Amazon contact information.
