I received two packages in two consecutive days, no return address, I don't know how they were delivered. They were from amazon. Two unusual items: an automatic tire gage, like that is used in an automotive shop. The second package was two bathroom trays. I didn't order either of these. As far as I know, (checked my account) my account hasn't been charged. I checked with Amazon and they said that it was not their merchandise.
I got a call that said they were from amazon and that a purchase was made from my bank for a lap top and ask if I made it. I said no, and they said they would refund the $200 to my account. they needed that information and is stead of $200, they put $200. thats were the gift cards came in.

I was notified by, “ Amazon” that a charge of $499.00 was made and that my credit card was put on hold. I called the Amazon number on my credit card and was assured my card was not on hold nor was there any suspicious activity. I did not return call so did not find out what their end game was.
Caller claimed to be from Amazon verifying a purchase. This is a transcript of voice message:
$537.35 has been debited from _?_?_?_ child for the purchase if you authorize this charge no action required if you did not authorize this charge _?_?_?_ press one to get connected to Amazon customer support…”

We are receiving robocalls saying that our Amazon or Amazon Prime account has a large purchase or charge, and they want us to call back, which we will not do. We had several calls one right after the other...constant. This must be stopped. We have not made these purchases, and feel it is a phishing expedition to have us call back the 800 or 855 area code number they are calling on.

I received a call saying my account had been Hack in somebody was trying to purchase an iPhone 11 pro for 1000 in my amazon account. I hurried up and look at my account on my phone it didn't say anything was wrong or anything was previously purchased when I mentioned this to this African accent fella he replied all know you shouldn't have done that you need to get on your laptop or computer right now, to fix it.. something didn't seem right, so I said well i'll just call customer service linked to my account and they hung up immediately. The phone call was approximately 4 minutes long. I tried to call the nut back and the recording said the number was not reachable .
It was a recorded message from Molly and she was checking on a purchase of $700+. Press 1 to speak with someone about the purchase. The guy said he was from Amazon and was checking on a purchase made in Dayton, Ohio made with my Amazon card. Wanted my information to make sure it was fraudulent. I wouldn't give him my information. I was called at 3:01pm, 3:28pm, 3:34pm and 3:51pm today from the same people.
On 6 Apr 21 I received an unanticipated phone call from someone purporting to be an Amazon employee. When I picked up my phone and said Hello, A male voice began by saying, “Hello, this is ? —- I am calling about a recent charge of $120!”

On March 30, 2021 i received a voicemail from who they said to be Amazon. The message states I had a package ordered and it was ready for delivery, but if i didn't order the package and wanted a refund to call 347-391-3282 to get it taken care of. I haven't ordered anything in a month or so. I called the # worried that someone had stolen my identity. The phone call was fishy from the get go, a lot of loud people/noise in the background. The man asked me if i was in front of my laptop and said i would need that. Next he asked me to go to "www.anydesk.com" which threw up a red flag. Once i punched in the web address he asked me to look for the green download button and to hit download. This is when i was for sure it was a scam. "Anydesk" is a free software to give REMOTE access to your computer. I told him no thanks, he wasn't going to scam me n hung up. If I had followed thru downloading n following his instructions he would've had access to all my info. I hope this warning helps some else.
