Description
Got a package from Amazon, but I didn't order it. Tried to connect with Amazon through the website but I kept getting the runaround. I couldn't find a phone number on the app, so I googled it and I got 877-705-1003. I called it and the number was answered as Amazon, I explained what happened and, in order for Amazon to help me, he; Alex from Amazon said he needed to connect to my Amazon account through Screen Connect. He told me that the purchase and payment came from PayPal.... He said that he needed to check virtual debit card, so he asked me to put 1234 in the virtual debit card. I said that I didn't feel comfortable doing it, but I did. He then said that he will erase it from the virtual debit card because I felt uncomfortable. After 30 minutes we got disconnected. Then it hit me! I checked my bank account and I was scammed out of $1234.00; 1234. I called my bank and they did a charge back until they could check out my claims. Oddly enough " Alex from Amazon" called me back and left his name through my Google assistant. The number he used was 540-845-8202. PayPal still sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr even after all the information I provided. This happened to me on October 27, I disputed it to PayPal on the same day, five minutes later PayPal sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr. I'm blown away by this and I can't believe that I let this happen.
