Scam Description
Someone called from this number acting as amazon I gave them my name and they told me I had 3 amazon accounts that were being logged into in TX, NY, IL ,NJ and asked if I got a txt from Amazon telling me someone was logging in from those places, which I never did. He went in to ask me if I purchased 8 Apple MacBooks and 6 IPhones I said no he asked more questions to verify I wasn’t ordering.I don’t have anything in my cart and and my last purchAse from Amazon Was months ago. I can’t remember all the questions he was asking Ik he asked if I had every been to those places and I said I went to NY in high school clearly not there now. And he said he was working on getting it taken care of and he was gonna put me on a slight hold. After realizing I was just muted bc no music or phone rings were happening this was 15 mins into the hold I finally hung up and went to search how do Ik if this is a fake amazon number. There’s a form when we can report what happened and enter the number which I did and submitted. But then I called customer service because that’s a lot of money if it were real to wait on an email reply from Amazon. The lady at customer service was very helpful and assured me she was in the process of reporting the fake amazon number because this has happened a lot recently she assured my account was fine and to change the password and do the two step verification which I did when I got that call on the only 1 account I have. I wanted to submit this so people are aware and don’t give out any personal information to a copy. If it was amazon they have your information. +1 (463) 227-0425 From Pittsboro, IN. $8999 is what he was trying to get for 8 MacBooks and 6 iPhones anyone should know that’s not even the correct amount of all this those things
