Amazon Imposter Reports & Reviews (1289)

Said someone purchased a laptop for 445.00 call back and give them information because it looks fraudulent I didn't call back

Call to elderly individual. Automated call stated they were Amazon and purchase was denied. Press number 1 to receive more information. Person presssed the number and was connected to live person with Indian accent. He said that a charge for $1400 on Amazon was denied. It was for an iphone. The individual had a family member who recently within the previous couple of days had purchased an iphone, but not from Amazon. He got confused and said yes that an iphone was purchased and authorized the payment. Now realizes it was not Amazon. Call back number went to "magic jack" number that has not been assigned, of course.

Getting calls from “Amazon” saying that there’s been fraud on my account. But the prerecorded message is clearly not Amazon since there are grammatical errors.

- Rigby, ID, USA

Left voicemail message: a charge of $799.99 was going to my Amazon account for an iphone 11. If it wasn't legitimate I was supposed to call back to 1-406-577-0340 to cancel the charge. I haven't called back to that number suspecting that it is a scam of some kind.

- Eden Prairie, MN, USA

Caller stated he was from Amazon and was calling to check a potentially fradulant charge. I answered the call in the first place because I had recently placed an order on Amazon. To resolve the issue, he told me that I needed to sign-on to my computer. I told him I was not going to do that, and asked him to explain the details to me -- reminded him that he called me. There were very loud noises and talking in the background, and some crackling on the line (and he had a strong accent), so I assume he may have been calling from abroad. I refused to go on line, and then asked him to provide me with the name of another number I could call him back at (and he gave me the same number he was calling from). Then, I asked him what city he was calling from, and he said "Seattle", and then I asked him to provide me with the corporate ID of the company or other identifying information so I could verify the legitimacy of the call. Once I asked that, he hung up.

Though I am very careful about such things, this scammer (and I do not know the ramifications yet) was a recorded voice, identifying herself as calling from Amazon.com to tell me a package I had ordered was delayed, and asked me to push one to get a customer service representative.

I did push one, which I immediately knew to be a mistake.

I understand that the purpose of the ScamPulse.com here is fundamentally to help protect others. But I was hoping, before anything came of my mistake, that there was some advice you could give to me that would help protect me from whatever this scam is about.

thank you.

He said there was a suspicious charge of $300.00( they said exact amount, I can't remember) on amazon recently and they were checking if we made this purchase or not. Press 1 if not. I pressed 1 a live male came on foreign sounding, he said the purchase was a iPhone, I said no we didn't make that purchase. He said what we need to do now ma'am is you need to get in front of your computer or laptop. I told him I didn't have anything like that that is connected to internet except the phone I'm talking to you on & he hung up.

Supposedly "Debbie from Amazon" calling about suspicious activity on my Amazon account, charges in Dayton Ohio. I don’t have an Amazon account and I received over 10 phone calls with the same message.

- Portland, OR, USA

I received a call from someone impersonating Amazon stating there was a purchase on my account for $1,000.00 and asked if I wanted to cancel the payment. Of course my answer was yes as I knew it was a scam and wanted to see what sort of info they were trying to get out of me. The human then began to attempt to walk me through steps on my computer to remedy this fake situation. When confronted with the knowledge this was a scam and I would not be giving out any info, they hung up. I called Amazon to report the issue and they stated Amazon would NEVER contact someone in that manner. HA! Don't be fooled fellow humans. :)

Call came in that Amazon is verifying a purchase of $128 to an account, if they have questions press one. Individual pressed one and there was no response.

I received an automated message about a suspicious purchase using my Amazon account. It stated a specific amount ($414) that if this was an authorized purchase I could simply hang up or if it wasn’t then to press one. I pressed one and a lady with a foreign accent answered and asked how she could help me. I went on to tell her that I’ve read about these types of scams and I’ve checked my Amazon and this purchase was not on my Amazon account. after telling her that I knew it was a scam and that she needed to get a real job she hung up on me.

On 11/25/2020 at 3:02pm, I received an automated voicemail stating a purchase had been made on my Visa card. The voicemail began halfway through a dollar amount to add confusion. I do not have a Visa card or Amazon account.

Audio transcript: "...And ___ cents on your Visa card. If you have made this purchase on Amazon.com and recognize it, then simply hang up and your order will be delivered to you. However, if you have not made any such transaction, you can call Amazon Support right away on 346-226-2139. Again the number is 346-226-2139 thank you."

Received email that a $5000.00 order from Amazon would be delivered on Dec 5 to an address in Delaware. I live in a different state and do not know anyone in Delaware. It seems someone applied for an Amazon CC in my name even though I already have an Amazon CC. I have notified law enforcement and Amazon for further action.

Just this morning the numbers i have provided have called 6 times. They claim they are from Amazon saying that there have been weird activity on the account. But no one here has a an account with Amazon. I am a caregiver for and elderly person and have a reason that's why they are calling. But this stuff needs to stop. I have been having the same problem as well but they are calling from people that i i know.

Received numerous phone calls from different phone numbers claiming to be Amazon.com. They say they believe some one is using your account to make purchases. If you want to cancel these orders you must go online and fill out a questionnaire. when I told them I did not have a computer, they said to use a smart phone. When I said I did not have a smart phone, they hung up. Amazon confirmed there was no activity on my account and are aware of this phone scam.

Said he calling from Amazon and I owed my bank was charged $39.95 for 3 months but if I didn't want to charged for the year.But they could refund me my money. I thought he said $40 but a hour later I realized he said @490.99 which they tried to with draw from my bank accounts

I just wanted to warn people about a fraud call I received from people pretending to be from Amazon staff stating that someone had charged my account $399.00 from Dayton Ohio. They asked if I gave someone permission to use my account & did I know someone from there and I stated "no".

They stated this account was for my husband (they mentioned his name), but called my cell. They also ask for the last two numbers of the same # on the account, name & address, & I gave them that which was I assumed the last two of my husband’s ss #.

They ask if I was near my computer & they needed me to log there. I informed them I could assess my account through my Amazon app. He stated something about having to secured my account $ how I would be refunded the $399.00, but needed me to go to a computer or laptop. I told him I was driving & would not be near a computer for 45 minutes. He stated for me to drive safe. The person I spoke to was named Paul; he was very nice. I remembered that the noise in the background sounded like a call center. I call my brother's girlfriend & asked her if she has a computer or laptop I could use since I was on my way there. I told her what was going on she stated it may be a scam. I checked my bank accounts first & saw no pending purchases. Then I looked up Amazon's customer service # & realize the number I called was a 985 area code & not a 800/877 #. When I called Amazon & the last purchases they had on files was confirmed to be months ago. Since everything appeared ok, I started to see the red flags was there; #1 they needed to get on my computer or laptop & not my Amazon app.( not too bad b/c I know sometimes for tech reasons you may have to get in the computer rather than your phone) #2. I had to call 3-4 times initially to get someone because the the phone line kept dropping. I figured where I made the call that may be it could a bad connection. #3. They asked for my husband on my cell & they ask for the last two numbers of the # on the account. I spelt my name & gave my address.

I was so uptight about the call from alleged Amazon & the fact that I might have a fraud charge that I almost didn't pay attention to the details.

This is a copy of the message below. Pls do not use my personal contact info.
