Description

My Amazon account was hacked, the person took my debit card information and was able to take $900. Someone claiming to work with Amazon contacted me and told me they could stop the hacker if I gave him a $200 iTunes giftcard. After I told him no I reccieved a text saying, "I am Federal and I can help you get your money back." He also told me to send him a $200 iTunes giftcard.
