Victim Location 82009 Type of a scam Online Purchase
I had a message on my home phone which stated that I needed to confirm an Amazon purchase that was charged in my name using my billing information and I needed to call back right away if I didn't make the purchase. They didn't state what the purchase was. So I returned the call to 877-870-8144 and was told the purchase was a gift card. I advised them that I have never purchased gift cards from Amazon and he then proceeded to tell me to log on to my computer so that I could give him information to cancel this fraudulent purchase, etc. I got the feeling that something just wasn't right and told him so and advised him that I was going to call Amazon directly and I did. The Amazon representative said there was no gift card purchase on my account and that the call was indeed fraudulent.
A guy named *** *** called and left a voicemail stating that I submitted an application (which I didn't) for a work-from-home opportunity with Amazon. He then asks me to complete my application so that I can earn $3000-$6000/month using my computer with Amazon. He states that the website to finish my application is amazondatajobs.org.
Why do I need to complete an application for something I already submitted? For an at-home position?
They tried it.
Needless to say I DID NOT go input any information into this website. I immediately googled the "opportunity" and quickly realized they'd been doing this for a couple of months, by somehow spoofing numbers. *** *** apparently has many phone numbers.

Victim Location 27612 Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
When checking my local weather on my mobile phone I was interrupted by an Amazon "Quiz" that promised 1 of 3 prizes. A new I phone, a new Samsung Galaxy, or a 1000.00 gift card. This was the second time I have gotten this pop up. You needed to answer 3 questions and if you were correct the three aforementioned prizes popped up but we're obscured by treasure chests. Once you chose a chest your "prize" was revealed. Then you had to agree to these obscure and non closing terms..... essentially forcing you to spend money on Amazon over several months with rules meant to message you up. I have Amazon prime and just paid them almost 100.00 for the privilege. I am now cancelling all business with them. Just to complain to them by phone you were asked to log in and pay for the phone number. Are you kidding?
I was using the Internet and a window popped up saying that Amazon chooses 10 members every Sunday to give $1000. Choose either an iPhone, a galaxy or ....
Once I saw the address had nothing to do with Amazon, I didn’t go further.
