Description

Was contacting Amaz Cust Svc at 888 326 8510 and was told that i had 2 accts with Amazon. Then told that 1 acct was a business acct and had been locked down from suspicious activity. After many questions about the acct I was transferred to FedTrdeCommisn Fraud(202)326-2222. The #they called me back from was(202)326-2000. The trasfer was probly intercepted and by very elaborate scammers who were very convincing that I withdraw money from my bank accts to deposit in a federal FTC acct created in my name. This went on for 3hrs. They claimed that it was an investigation into national money laundering scheme and not to involve the banks, local law enforcement, or anyone as i would be arrested for laundering. After I didnt fall for the scheme, I contacted the BBB, my banks, and local law enforcement. I also havent had my accts frozen or been arrested as they told me would happen. All beware of those phone numbers.
