Received a call saying that there was a suspicious charge on my Amazon account, connect to representative if I did not make the charge. "Agent" was able to provide my first name and said that I had a $700+ charge for an iphone X. I told the agent that I was very concerned and asked which Amazon account had the fraud. The agent disconnected the call. I have a login with Amazon, but I do not have any credit with them. I believe this call to be fraudulent with the intent to collect personal information.

The scammer said his name was Allen Johnson from Amazon. He was the senior supervisor and he was also calling on behalf of the BBB. He informed me that my visa account had been charged $279.00, and he wanted me to get on my laptop, so he could show all the scams that have been taking place. When I asked him to please repeat his name and where he was calling from, he got irate and said if I didn’t want to cooperate with him, by accessing certain features on my laptop, then my Visa card will be charged $279.00, then he hung up on me.

I’m calling to report a scam call I just received a my home phone. It was a recording. They were from Amazon. Going to charge my account $1200 for a phone I ordered. I have never ordered anything from Amazon. The recording stated to press a number to confirm or cancel the order. It disconnected before I could press a number. I called Amazon to make sure they don’t have a record of anything. The phone number in my caller Id was 216-873-9030. I tried to call the phone number back. Of course it said the number cannot be completed as dialed.

I answered a scam call on my cell phone. The same call came in last Friday and Saturday. At first it was a recording. My Amazon account has been compromised. I pressed a number to speak with someone. A man came on the line. He said my Amazon account was compromised. He asked me if I had a laptop. I said no. Then he wanted to know if I was on a smart phone. I said yes. He said you can go to Google. I said I’m not doing that. I hung up. They called from two different phone numbers. I answered the calls because the phone numbers were similar to mine. The numbers in my caller ID were 216-324-7379 and 216-324-3951.

I received an e-mail from what appeared to be Amazon, notifying me that my order had been processed. I didn’t order anything from Amazon in almost a year, and I never ordered the item that showed up on my doorstep. I received follow up e-mails that my order was shipped, a survey on my experience, and the final one stating that my payment was denied and demanded payment. They asked for the last two digits of my credit card number. I haven’t responded to any of these e-mails, but it is completely fraudulent. There are several e-mails associated with this scam.

Type of a scam Tech Support
I called this number to talk with a tech from amazon.com to solve a problem I was having with my amazon account. the scammer asked me to let him into my computer which I did and he also asked me to give him my credit card number, which I also did. He told me to fix my account problem he had to buy some phone cards and then cancel them and that would fix my account with amazon. When I hung up and checked my credit card account, I noticed the scammer used my credit card number after I hung up and charged over 300.00 dollars on my credit card to buy the phone cards for some video online games. I know that I was naive in believing this scammer so I realize that I have to just accept the fact that by my trusting this scammer as an amazon tech I lost 300.00. I wanted to report that this company of Get Human is dishonest and for the ScamPulse.com to investigate them and stop them from stealing from other innocent people. Thank You.

Received an email order confirmation from Amazon from email address noted above. Country and State noted above were already noted so I don’t konw if they are correct.. Order was supposedly place on 7/22/2020 for an Apple Mac Book Core i17-9750TH. For a total of USD $2108.99. I did not order this. I received a similiar order confirmation from Amazon for an Apple Mac Book Pro Core i7-9750H. That email came from [email protected] Phone #855-929-4967. I called this number and was told that my identity and Amazon account had been hacked. They gave me such a convoluted run around that I was sure it was a scam and hung up. I immediately contacted the real Amazon and they told me there were no charges to my account. At that time I thought it best to cancel my Amazon account which it did.
I wanted to report this so I found a site on line at #REPORTSCAM and reported it to them. I received a response back the next day from email address [email protected] that my complaint had been received and they were investigating. I have heard nothing since so I don’t know if they are legit. I felt like the ScamPulse.com would be a better option.
I was never charged for the first order and have canceled my Amazon account so I know this second order is bogas as well.
I tried to send you an image of the order but it’s more than 2MB.
If there is a way to send you an image let me know and I ill do so.

I received a phone call on my house phone from an Alex Green telling me that my Amazon Prime account had been locked because there was
a purchase for a refurbished ! Phone6 .I was told that they locked it because they wanted to contact me first before approving it. I had missed the original call and had returned the call @ 1-844-806-5816 . While talking to him he requested that he call me back on another line because
he was unable to hear me. The call came from 1-205-575-2493. I did not answer his call and he called back 7 times.
A week before I received an e-mail from "Amazon" stating that there was a problem with my credit card and they were locking my account and
requested my social security number. I just ignored this and kept ordering. I knew Amazon would never ask for my number. I then contacted customer service at Amazon was was told that my account was fine and had never been locked and that they had never sent any e mails to
me. There was no purchase for $350.00 for i Phone6. I hope this helps someone

I was bored on my break and took an "Amazon" phone survey and at the end they offered a free watch. It was actually an Amazon look-a-like website. They said I would just have to pay the shipping price of $7.95. I gave them my debit information and authorized a charge of $7.95. Then I saw a charge of $98 appear on my account. I called them back about it and they said that I paid for a subscription. I told them I didn’t and I wanted my money back. They said I only had 14 days to cancel and it was
written into the conditions I agreed to. It was not. I read those conditions fully. They won’t refund me for a charge I did not authorize. They’re a scam.

This company will sent you a link to read about the job opportunity (http://576902770757.loodpetroleumgh.com/). Sounds great, just put your information in and they will call you. Got a call and they sent me an email with a contract asking for a selfie with my driver’s license and then a copy of just my driver’s license. Attached is the contract stating that full time you can make about 5k a month plus 5% commission. I have worked in a commission based job and that sounded sketchy. So I called the number at the bottom of the email and what are the chances that it was the same guy I talked to the previous day from a different phone number. When I asked what the job initialed he stated that they pay merchants for amazon and that money will be deposited into my bank account and then I would withdraw the money and "pay their clients" with the money. So just to do my researched a little more, I contacted Amazon and asked if this job even excised. Low and behold they did not and advised that what I was receiving was a scam.

received a voicemail saying they reviewed my online resume and had open positions working with "Amazon" listing products and posting reviews that paid anywhere from $17-$32 hr. Female said to apply today as they are only hiring 23 people and to apply to "stockretail.org". I looked at their site which immediately looked suspicious. Also, it seems they have different names, i.e. "stockretail.com" etc. The positions are not on a job site with job description but rather a scam for you to pay for a training kit. I checked the Amazon site and they have no such jobs listed. This is a scam!

Beware of anyone who calls as Amazon with an offer for an affiliate program that sets you up with a domain and full marketing support for a one time fee. They get you with a one letter difference from the email account they send you (pngartnerrs). It is actually a multi-layered scam. They say they are with Amazon but the agreement paperwork they send is for Online Marketing Gurus LLC and as far as I can tell, that isn’t who they are either.
