Don't do business with a seller who directs you off the Amazon website. This was found on avoiding payment scams. I found a number on Google and called it Which immediately changed to 877-532-0770. ( Looking that # up on Google showed Miloslav Currin). He had me pull up an app called "quick support-teamviewer Samsung", So he could control my Phone. He had me pull up my bank account and asked if I had Zelle so he could refund my money since he couldn't refund to discover. He had asked me for the last 4 of Discover and my social security #. He never asked for my Amazon account. After talking awhile we got disconnected and he called me back on 352-604-8073 and I was on hold most of the time for 34 minutes. Don't trust Google but go into your account of whatever and find their information or phone number to use.

A person posted a job posting in a town facebook group. Then we messaged each other and was referred to contact another person (hiring manager) thru text message, I did all necessary steps. Because it was a remote position it seemed legit. My resume was emailed to the person and to finish application process they need to verify my application (drivers license & SS #). They wanted to do a face recognition & that’s when I said no more. I filed a police report and did all necessary steps to protect my credit.

Scammers used Amazon logo to sell mystery box online. Seeing this logo thinking it's legit I ordered the 49.99 mystery box. After I placed the order I got a generic "order received" email. I checked out the website reviews and realized that others have been scammed by them. So I immediately request a refund and contacted PayPal but they couldn't do anything because I didn't get a cancellation number. It's been more than three days since the order was placed and I have not received a tracking number nor a cancellation number.

I received a phone stating they were from Amazon verifying a $1900 gaming computer. If i did not order this press one. When i pressed one a man came on verifying my name and address, he had it all. Then proceeded to tell me someone had hacked my account and he could but safeguards in place. At this point i hung up as i was pretty sure it was a scam. This happened at 11:35 am 6/28/2023.

Call from someone saying they were from Amazon (Kaylee Madison) and they saw two other accounts were set up using my personal info. Asked questions if I could identify addresses, names, items. Gave me a Complaint # which I later verified and the real Amazon could not identify, nor find other accounts in my name etc. The supposed Amazon employee offered to transfer me to FTC, and I spoke to Elly Warren. Went through the same drill of seeing if I had accounts w/certain banks, credit cards, people and addresses I could identify. Then transferred to OIG, Sotiris (Ted) Planzos (who sent me his badge ID). Told me I was being investigated for money laundering because large amounts were being sent to Mexico and Columbia under accounts with my personal info. He said they were going to seize my assets and since he was "representing me" I should withdraw most of the money out of my checking/savings accounts to avoid having the funds seized. I actually went to one bank and withdrew money but when he said to go to a machine and deposit the money in exchange for a Government Security Vault Card. After this was deposited they would issue me a new social security card and a person would be delivering it along with other documents to read and sign within the next 24 hours. At that point I said I was not going to do anything until I had time to think about what had happened. I was so busy taking notes I did not see all the red flags. He then said he would transfer me to the FBI and verify he was legitimate and to proceed. This FBI gentleman, James Hoffman, basically said the same thing and I had to act quickly to avoid having to go to court. They said under the 1987 Money Act this was what was happening. I wanted to research and basically hung up on them. I tried to upload a copy of the badge he sent, but it does not seem to work. I did unfortunately text my drivers' license to him. There were 2 phone numbers he used because one time we were disconnected. 407-588-6451 & 443-533-3297. He said under Subsection 42B I could not mute or disconnect the phone call, nor discuss with anyone for 24 hours. Sounds ridiculous now to type this, cannot believe that I fell for the call for such a long time.

After trying to install Amazon Prime on a newly bought Xfinity Flex box, I was instructed on my tv to call a number for help with installation. I was told to install a desktop mirror imaging program so they could see what was happening on my phone and tv. I was told there was suspicious activity on my Amazon Prime account, and they needed to make a few charges on one of my cards on record at Amazon to verify it was me. So they made a charge for a $100 credit for playstation at Amazon.com. I was told these charges would all be reversed after my account had been verified. Then they made two more charges for $300 each with Vanilla Bean Gift cards. I was instructed to turn over the card so they could read the back of them. Well, I am embarrassed that I followed these instructions anyway, even though I told the "tech" I wasn't comfortable with any of this. He kept reassuring me he was a 3rd level tech support guy named Jerry. BS...he was from India, and we had a hard time understanding him. So after my credit card company said I had to okay these charges, I stupidly did this. Kiss my money gone then! It was a costly mistake, and now I worry about the vulnerability my internet tv may have. What can I do to stop future scans like this ?

I was having problems with my Amazon order so I searched “Amazon customer service number”. So anxious and not even thinking, I clicked the first number I saw. When the scammer picked up they acted as if they were Amazon help center and that they were going to guide me in the process. They told me to download an app call “any desk” so that they can monitor my screen and “guide” me. In the process they made me transfer funds to my cash app then guided me to bitcoin and made me transfer the money thru bitcoin. In that process I had ti verify my account and take a picture of my identification card. They were able to see all of that. The whole point was to receive an Amazon reward for my order problems but I was not thinking.

I received a phone call, and man on the phone said he was from Amazon and i had a large order that was ready to be shipped. I asked what the purchase was. He said a computer and some other electonics. I told him i did not make that order and to cancel the order. He ask me if i thought i was a victim of identity theft, i told him yes. He then transferred me to what he said was the SS Administration office. That man said his name was Daniel Weber. He proceeded to give me a badge # 3387171 and a case# 180DC209. He then ask for my SS #. He came on the line and told me that someone was using my name & SS# in various places and it looked like to him, that car registered in my name was found abanded which the car was full of drugs, so there was warrant out for my arrest in El Paso Texas for drug trafficking and money laundering though different accounts in my name. I then went hysterical. He told me that he was going to connect me with the US Marshall office to let them help me resolve the issue. He connected me to another man named Henry Little. He gave me his ID # 10172. He told me that they would freeze any account that had my SS# on them. He told to go to my bank a withdraw my money in cash, but i had to stay on the line with him the whole time and if i didn't comply with the rules he was giving me to resolve this issue, that they would have no choice but to freeze all my cards and my account, and they would push the warrant for my arrest. Im an elderly woman and they had me terrified! After I got my money out of my account, he proceeded to tell me to go to two locations to a certified machine and gave me the addresses. Still on the line with him, he told me when I got at the first location, and he would tell me what to step by step. He said go in and bring in my money. He told me to proceed to a machine called Bitcoin. Ive never in my life heard of this machine. He gave me step by step instructions how to log into the machine and put my money in the machine. That it would register my money with the IRS and when i get through with the verification process, he would tell me how to get my money back. The whole time i was told not to disconnect with him and finish the verification process or i would be arrested for drug trafficking. Meanwhile my husband was trying desperately to call me, but man insisted that I not hang up on him. My husband thought i had been kidnapped, so he calls the sheriff's office to file a missing person's report because he couldn't reach me. The 2nd machine was acting up. Then i received a call from the sheriff's office so i answered the call. Once i told him i was ok, i started telling him about what was going on and that's when he told me that i has scammed! I went hysterical! I lost $18,000,He told me not to put any more money in the machine and go straight home, so i went home!

The email address of scam is receipt_37786722. Name on the email is [email protected]

The invoice says only one word. AMAZON. Billing me for an iPhone 14 Pro Max 256

GB, Gold. $1599,.00 US Funds They said it is in the

mail and I will receive it in 2-3 business days. That I can make 4 easy no interest payments. No shipping and handling charges. The email is a fraud. I did not order this item. Note: I am a senior. I have no credit card that they are able to use, so I said no funds were lost. Standby for a possible theft of my funds thru nefarious means.

I applied to an Amazon job say 3000 dollar sign on bonus. In the drug test interveiw the lady amenna said I see you applied tkk on the sign on bonus. So to let you know it’s broken into two payments. One after 30 days will be a 1000 and after 180 you will receive the rest. I came to orientation. The learning ambassador havier said the same exact thing amenna said. We have a building safety meeting subu said you don’t not receive it until after 6 months. Then multiple managers said no and multiple people asked question and he did not acknowledge them at all. Then I call to see if I’m getting a sign on bonus and they say there is no sign on bonus at all.

Contacted alleged Alexa help line thought it was Amazon. I was told my computer was infected with spyware and the firewall corrupted. Allegedly cleaned my computer of spyware and firewall corruption. offered 3 protection plans based on time of coverage 1, 3 years, and lifetime. I choose one year at $149.99. I should have questioned why an Amazon tech would offer 3rd party services. See contact below
