Scam Description
I received a call at 10:07am from a woman who said her name was Irisha Black from Amazon Customer service. she gave me her Amazon employee Id number AMZ770251 then proceeded to say that she was calling to say that there was suspicious activity on my Amazon account. that someone from Albany New York had created a second account from my original account and purchased an Apple Book Pro laptop and Apple Blu tooth device and that the package was being delivered to a place in New York. the total cost was $1537.35. she went on to explain that there were multiple accounts now from my account in Texas. all of this kept me off balance and thinking from a fear point and not on what to do when something does not sound right. when she said I had to report this to the FCC to get this cleared up and made the connection I hung up. I called Amazon and they said they never call like this. I reported this to their Fraud department.
