Scam Description
Caller (from restricted number) identified himself as Amazon employee and wanted me to verify a $1499 mac computer purchase and asked me to verify my name, which he knew, and I verified. English was not his first language. I told him the purchase was not me and to not let it go through. He continued to ask increasingly personal questions, and I just told him again to block the purchase. He then listed four or five banks and asked if one was mine. I told him no (stupid on my part) and he then asked what bank I used. I then hung up and called my credit card company and asked for a new card.
