Description
I got a (phishing?) e-mail stating that "Amazon" got "my" order for an iPhone to be shipped to a different state. The e-mail specified that I should call a Phone Number if I did not place that order. Then I got a follow-up phone call from that Number about that e-mail. The first individual had a Scottish(?) accent. He transferred me to a second man who had an Indian/Pakistani accent. [I did not call them. They called me.] The second guy kept mentioning the BBB. The e-mail is definitely a scam. I'm not sure if the callers were legitimate or illegitimate. I think I've been had: my device might be compromised.
