Type of a scam Online Purchase

I went in to my Amazon account and a box came up and said "there was some suspicion activity on my account with some gift cards". I called the # and they answered the phone as Amazon. Long story short. They hacked my debit card. I called the real Amazon and they are doing an investigation. In the mean time I called the # back and they answered Amazon again. And when I told them this is not Amazon they hung up.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!!! This is NOT an Amazon store. They are just using the Amazon logo to trick people into thinking they are legitimate. The company address is Texas, but this "merchandise" if coming from China. Many people I have spoken to have either never received the products they ordered or the products arrived damaged, were the wrong product/size, etc. They charged my debit card and I never received an email with a confirmation of my order. Their website has NO CONTACT INFORMATION at all. The phone number from their Facebook site has a busy signal 24 hours a day!!! Please beware!

My fiance and I moved into our new home in July. At the beginning if February my fiance received a flyer supposedly from Amazon offering us a $25 gift card as a welcome to the neighborhood if we call the number on the flyer. No local organization name was listed as a sponsor of the gift card so I called Amazon to ask and they said it definitely wasn’t them. I gave them the phone number so they may try to block it or warn people on their end.

BEWARE of spin the wheel to win $1000 Amazon gift card "pop-up". It is a SCAM by Amazon! Their customer service wants your email & personal info & to sign up. There is no prize.

Amazon takes your account security very seriously. Amazon will never ask you to disclose or verify your Amazon password, credit card, or banking account number. If you receive a suspicious email with a link to update your account information, do not click on the link—instead, report the email to Amazon for investigation.

We hope to see you again soon.

Telling me that the order that I placed is cancelled, they want to confirm a cancellation.
