Description

A man with an Indian accent contacted me on my cell phone, started by saying he was calling from Amazon about recent purchases to my account totaling over $1,000.00 and he wanted to verify I made the purchase. The man started by asking to verify my name, address, and phone number. I began to question him about why he would be calling me when Amazon contacts me by email, text, or through the Amazon.com app. The man began to get rude, because I would not fully verify my address and I kept questioning his intent. After partially verifying my address he proceeded and told me purchases were made under my account that need to be verified and he asked for my banking information. At that time I told him Amazon does not contact me by phone, remove me from the call list, and I will not be providing any banking or credit card info to him. The man then started to make sexual comments, moaning my name, and saying how sexy my voice is. That went on for about one minute until he realized I was not responding and he hung up. This was very disturbing to say the least and needs to be investigated. (Please note I normally shop using Amazon.com, and recent purchase made on Prime Day was Oct. 13th-14th)
