Phishing call claiming to be Amazon Reports & Reviews (2)

I received a call from Aidan Davis, employee # AV488481, saying he was from the Amazon Verification Team. Per caller ID, the call came from Louis Wurzer, 931-553-7902. He said there was an order placed for Apple equipment in the amount of $1537.35, to be sent to 49 Arcadia Ct, Albany, NY 12205. He said this account was set up in NY and accessed by multiple devices in multiple states. None of which I had ever been to, and definitely not recently. He said he was transferring my call to the Federal Trade Commission, where I s/w Andrew Katsaros, Federal Badge ID DC708621. Said he needed my DOB to do a background check on me. I asked him for his call back number so I could call him back. He said he needs to run my background check first. I again asked him for his number since they called me, I need to ensure this isn't fraud, and he hung up.

A person identifying herself as Anna Wilson with Amazon called me. She said her ID# was AMZ295118. She said that a new Amazon account had been created in my name and that a purchase was being attempted. The purchase was an Apple MacBook Pro and and Apple Air Pod in the amount of $1,537.35. She said it was being sent to an address in Albany, NY. The address is 49 Arcadia Court, 12205. I told her that was not me and I didn’t authorize any such purchase. She then said that there were several addresses connected with this account. She had some correct information and some incorrect information. She also said that attempts were being made to make purchases from NY, NJ, TX, FL, and CA. I said that I do not have any connection to those states. She then said that she would cancel the order and the new account. She then said that she would connect me with the FTC for me to report the fraud. When the call was connected I spoke with a person named Jennifer Walker. Her federal badge number is FT0612850. She said her phone number is 202 618-8327. (I have not tried to call this number). Ms. Walker then asked me if I knew several people, 2 of them I do and trust completely. She then asked me if I was alone. I said that I was. She then proceeded to tell me that I had 7 bank accounts, 12 credit cards, 3 rental properties and 4 cars in my name. And that money laundering, drug trafficking and financial fraud was being committed in my name. And that $986,000 in fraudulent transactions were committed in my name. She then said that she was going to complete an asset comparison form with me so that she could ascertain which of my assets were truly mine and which were fraudulent. She said that she needed to do that so that I wouldn’t be considered a suspect and not be investigated in the case. At this point I decided that she was full of it so I told her to do whatever she felt was necessary. I laughed and she was upset. She asked me if I was taking her seriously or not as this was not a laughing matter. I said that if they needed to prosecute me then feel free to do so. She then hung up the phone. I am concerned because they had some information that was correct. Some of it old and some current.
