Total money lost $100
Type of a scam Online Purchase

I received an email from Amazon (it looked legit) telling me someone was attempting to access my account and I should change my password. It said to follow the link below, which I did. I changed my password and shortly thereafter, noticed a $100 gift card purchase on my Amazon account. I promptly changed my password again and notified Amazon and my bank. Amazon was not helpful to say the least. In fact after three phone calls to them to remedy the situation, i.e. get my money back, all I got was the run around, being put on hold, lip service, "we're working on resolving this issue, etc.". However, nothing was done, the money is still gone. I can't believe in this modern world that Amazon doesn't have a process in place for these situations. It's about customer service, and all I got was a long time spent on hold, and the run around. I truly think they are hoping I will just drop it due to the many minutes on hold, no real action, and dropped calls. Also, I noted they didn't say they couldn't help, there were assurances that they could, but nothing has been done.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I am 70 yrs old. I wanted to purchase a radiator and condenser from Amazon. So I googled the phone number for them. I called 888-241-5497. I spoke to a man with a foreign accent. He said he had a radiator/condenser for $198. He said he could help me. I gave him my Capital One card to pay for it, but he said it was declined but to go buy two Amazon gift cards for $100 each. He told me to go to Walgreens. I went but they didn't have them. Then he told me to go to Walmart and buy two Google Play Cards for $100 each. The clerk did not ask me why I was buying the cards. I sent him a picture of the cards with the security numbers scratched off. he told me he was transferring me to Rodney in billing. Rodney asked if I had a Cash App, which I gave him. There was noting in the Cash App. He hung up. T-Mobile reset my phone. I called Capital One, and they said a charge was pending for $200.

Received a voicemail saying my Amazon Account was Fraudulent. So I checked my Credit card attached to it and there was a charge pending. So I thought it was legit so I called them.

He proceeded to tell me I’m wanted in Texas for steeling a car, Launderings money, and Drug Trafficking. He knew all my Credit cards and Banks I use. No numbers though. Told me if I hang up before I get this resolved I’m admitting I to the crimes and he will have the local police come and arrest me and it will stop my social security . As we were talking the Local police number came up on my caller ID. So I panicked and hung up. We got disconnected from my call. They tried calling several times over and over. Also, so did the police numbers as well.

I went to that police department and they said IF there was any warrant they will come find me NOT call me.

These scammers used a buffer number to call. The police had No record of calling my number.

Strange thing I found out after is that they called my daughters cell phone 10 min before me. I was at work and she lives 1 hour away. But on her phone that number came up Scam Risk but not on mine.

I got a text message saying an order placed from Amazon for $1152, and if it wasn't me to call 866-313-1145. Spoke to two different Indian men who I could hardly understand. He told me to download Anydesk onto my phone and I did. He asked me to click on the credit card I have on file with Amazon. And I did. He put money on the card and took it back off.

I received a call from amazon or so they said it is an electronic voice record saying that my Amazon account would be charged $1000. I attempted to call back the number once and it said that the mailbox was full. Called a second time and a lady picked up the phone I asked if she worked with amazon as it was just a hello greeting. She did not and we talked about how they got our numbers. I am concerned as back at the beginning of the year Amazon charges showed up on my account and I have never purchased off amazon.

Hi, my name is ******. I had a supposed amazon call from a representative trying to state someone was trying to purchase a Mac computer for $1500. I obviously have no cards on my account and I already knew it was a scam. But when I told them I knew it was a scam the guy asked me where I was at and told me he would find me and in his words “where are you now? I will **** you up you h**” and I told him I had a cop next to me and he said “**** the police I don’t care about your stupid police you dumb ****” and I told him I’d report him to the better business bureau and he told me he didn’t care and continued to make death threats to me. This NEEDS to be taken care of! Thanks!

07/24/22 I got text message from a odd "number* ****************************************** * this being the number I somehow got a message from anyways I clicked the link believing it was actually Amazon protecting me from being hacked. But after I went through the steps I began getting odd charges to my bank account which were labeled as hc_charge. Starting at 16 and some change then slowly lowering the amount on several more charges by the same name ( hc_charge ). They also were able to send 60 dollars to a chime account as well before the bank finally contacted us and shut the card down. It's approximately 120 dollars total

I called Amazon to pay a $6 bill automatically. An Amazon res. Said someone had crashed my account and charged about 7 thousand dollars. It was already gone, we had to get it back. He signed me up to Anydesk app. Then started to get PayPal info. He sent me his Amazon ID. Also the bill for false charges. I got nervous and hung up on him during PayPal signup. I deleted Anydesk coin my cell and called the bank, so far so good.

There was an ad on Facebook for Amazon pallets. I checked out the reviews and comments, and they were all good. Needless to say when I went back to look at the ad again now I can’t find it! They also took $90 more out of my account then they told me they would and put me in the negative!

I received a phone call from the above number and they told me that a suspicious purchase was being made on my Amazon account for a new iPhone over $1000. When I ask them why it did not show up on my Amazon account, they hung up on me. I called them back and spoke with somebody different and ask them about the call. When I told them I was reporting them they hung up on me again. It sounded like a lot of phones and people in the background.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

My Parents get several phone calls a day from a foreigner pretending to collect a debt for Amazon. The Amount is usually 599.00. My parents do not have caller ID but it probably does not matter anyway. My parents are in their late 80's and this is very stressful for them. This has actually been going on for at least three months - probably more.
