I simply hung up.
Tried saying I had a $500 Amazon order.
Amazon itself says no, I don't.

It was a SCAM.

(44,055 posts)Amazon doesnt even have my phone number as I order through my brothers account. Did shake me up a little though, like somebody may have hacked my credit card. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Say I can hear you. If they insist on a yes or no, hang up.

I could tell it wasn't Amazon because the language was WAY nicer than Amazon would ever be.

(24,788 posts)on my amazon account, that amazon security had put a hold on the purchase, and that I should press one to speak with amazon security.
I hung up.
Not a minute later, I got a call saying my Apple Cloud account had been breached, and that I needed to Press One to speak with Apple security.
Sheesh.

(29 posts)Got similar calls since few weeks ago, and they use several different numbers. I Googled the numbers and found quite many reports filed at sites like http://phonebook.ai about them. I just ignore any calls if I'm not familiar with the numbers now.
