Received a voicemail from 833-312-0425 saying there’s a problem with my recent Amazon order #350631 and I needed to call to either approve or cancel the order. My Amazon order has seventeen digits and the six digits left on the voicemail are not part of it. I also could not find the number they called from as an Amazon phone number. I deleted the voicemail and didn’t call the bogus phone number.

Scammer reported unusual activity in that a purchase of an “XL 64 gigs $749 cell phone” was pending purchase on Amazon account. I knew this not to be true.

They called to say they were from Amazon and to verify an unauthorized purchase on my account for $299.00, but when I called them back at 1-239-785-2065, as they provided, they wanted me to log into my account to and verify that this was a fraudulent purchase. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they would not assist as I told them I thought this was a scam and I should not have to log into my account to verify anything. They hung up on me at that point.

I received a call from some one saying they were from Amazon. They went on to say that I had ordered an I-phone and there was a problem incurred with shipping it. They asked me to go on my computer and they would fix the problem. I refused to do such. There is NO doubt in my mind that this was a scam in the making. I told them to go to hell and hung up.
Got a call saying my Amazon account had a charge made from Ohio. They wanted to connect me to their server. I said i would call Amazon to verify and he hung up.

I called Amazon customer service. I found the number thru Google search.
888-670-0832 I spoke to a lady called ***** and when she couldn't help me I
requested to speak to a manager she transfered me to a Manager named *******.
I called to update my credit card information because it had expired. Richard told me because my account was suspended I needed to purchase a Google Play card with $100.00 to activate my account and to call them back. I quickly went and purchase the card, called him to activate my account. He took down all the information on my card and imputed the information into the computer. He then told me that the money was collected but for some reason something wrong with the card, it shows a $100.00 credit with Amazon, but the system did not update. In order to fix the problem he told me I need to get another card with $100.00 to complete the transaction.
I told him that there was no way I would that. He told me if I didn't I would lose the money and that my account would be permanently closed. I told him I would report him to Corporate. He told me go ahead you will not hear them for 4-6 months. He hung up on me. .... About 5 minutes later he called me from
805-335-6586 and said he would credit my account and gave me a reference number
#***********. He asked me for the last 4 digits of my debit card number to credit my account. He said it would credit right away but it didn't.
I am so upset with myself for allowing him to play me like this..... I honestly thought I was talking to Amazon Mgr.
I have never bought a Google Play card, so I didn't know how it works and Amazon policies. Since my card was suspended and he knew it. I believed him
I'm out $100.00, retired and can't afford to lose this much money..
Received email from Amazon thanking for purchase of $ 900 plus dollars. Knew that order was not placed. Gave phone number to call. Called. Said they would look into the problem. We did. Then they proceeded to take over computer. My husband realized finally it was a scam and hung up on the call. Immediately unplugged the computer but thinks it was too late.
They said they were with Amazon. Wanted to let me know my credit card was charged $100. I hang up and called the number back but it wasn't a valid number. Phone number used was 209-895-3872.
Received email that looked like it was from Amazon. They used my name. There was an order confirmation number listed and a phone number to call for Assistance/Customer Service. It had an order confirmation number. Order Details: 2 Laptop computers plus $110.00 shipping charges. I called the number and got real leary of the guy. Think he was on his way to gaining access to my computer if I would go along with letting him access. I just hung up and printed email and marked as Spam, This was not ordered by me. He said it had been ordered from Eastern Russia. I talked with my credit card company and they said they detected no suspicious activity but would notify me if it appeared.
Recording from Grand Prairie, TX with phone number(214)212-3177. They said they had suspicious charge to my Amazon account for $419.32and to push 1 if this was fraudulent. I pushed 1 and someone answered Amazon how can I help you? There were recorded office noise in the background. I told them I wanted to make sure this wasn’t a hoax and hung up. When I checked my Amazon account page, no false charges had been made. This was phishing scam. I have also received multiple calls from other Grand Prairie numbers starting like this one with recorded message. In past it was to renew my car warranty. Beware of any unknown numbers from Grand Prairie, TX.

I listened to a call on my recorder that said there was a fraudulent charge on my Visa card for $279. I don't even know what Amazon is until the ScamPulse.com explained the scam. Needless to say I did not call them back.
They called me to see if I wanted to continue my Amazon Prime Membership. They told me to download an app & then give them a code. Then fill out a form in which I did but made the mistake of adding a decimal in the amount section. The rep yelled at me freaking out. Then told me to buy 4 best buy gift cards to give them. After I disconnected with him with no success in buying them. My phone started turning pages on its own while I was driving & then it was trying to do my fingerprint code to get into my phone so I shut it off. I believe they were trying to hack into my phone.
I answered a recorded call on my home home September 30,2020 at 3:58 P.M.. I said hello. The recording was a mans voice. He said this is Amazon. Stated I have not paid my credit card bill. I made purchases. I owe $1000. That's when I knew it was a scam. I did not hear the entire message. I slammed the phone down . I don't have a computer. I did not buy anything. The call upset me. I could not sleep. I thought maybe that I should have listened to the entire message. My caller ID showed Idaho 208-977-1887. It is the first time this happened to me.
Man called Mark claimed to be w/Amazon customer service. Contact #18009352642 ext 415. Said there was a charge on 9-2-20 for a new TV at nearly $1200. By someone out of San Antonio,Tex.
Wanted us to go get a $300 google play card & he would credit our acct for $1500.
Received an email from “Amazon” and it asked for me to click on a link for verification. Unfortunately, I clicked on the link and the website looked exactly like Amazon & the sign-in page was identical as well.
I re-entered my credit card info for verification.
I realized it was a scam shortly after and immediately changed my password and alerted my credit card company.
