Scam Description
Phone call stating “my order valued at over $900.00 was being delivered today and would be charged to my Amazon account. I have no undelivered orders. I inquired what the order was. I was told an Ipad. As I never use Apple products I really knew something was suspicious. The caller stated he needed to verify my name and address. If he was from Amazon he would know this information. I said that to him. When he attempted to verify the information he had I called him out on his being from Amazon because we recently issued an address change. This is when he started back pedaling. I informed him I suspected this as fraud and would report the call and phone number to the PA AG office and the BBB. I promptly hung up. I removed all credit cards from my Amazon wallet and verified no new charges on the card. I filled out the online complaint form with Amazon. I informed them they obviously have a breach and I would be passing the information along.
