I googled Amazon & dialed the number listed (888) 614-2266, a guy answered had heavy asian accent. I said I was calling to get my Amazon Prime membership number. I did not feel comfortable so I gave him a fake name. He than said my name was used in Texas, Chicago, North Dakota & New York & someone just purchased an IPhone & tablet totaling $1,687.15 so he said hold on while he send an email to the Fraud Dept. he came back in 1min & asked if I had accounts at the following Banks: Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America or M&T & he would have to transfer me to the Fraud Dept of each bank to gather some additional information to begin investigations, he then transfered me to a man with a heavier accent, I immediately asked him his name & office location. I could not understand his name but he said his office "was Washington DC" but could not provide the street or zip code. I hung up & he called back from (254) 750-7500 (Waco, Texas) I have blocked both numbers. I felt it was a scam.

Ask for info to update a credit card on file for renewal of Amazon Prime service, which I do NOT have.

Called to get help with Amazon Prime. Was told to get certain gift cards to help with getting his account restored. Gave them the codes with the promise of getting his money back. That did not hapen The persons name was "Oliver" and when he called back the phone was listed under a phone number with the last name Vincent

The scam was that my Amazon Prime account was suspended due to my default payment method for your membership is no longer valid.

I received an email asking me to update my payment method for prime to continue using it. I was given a link to click on. But I first checked through my actual amazon prime account to find that my membership was valid until Feb 2026. I just found it odd after I knew I had recently renewed my prime membership.

logged on to amazon prime there was a box with message that my account was locked due to suspic1ous activity with phone number 1 833 656 9211 when I called they said that someone in two different states were trying to buy I phones on my account i gave my e mail address and they were going to transfer me to the fraud unit so they could get more info. I told them that they were a fraud and to **** off and a few other choice words and they hung up

I Googled the Amazon Customer Service number to cancel my Amazon Prime Account. I spoke with a man, who verified my phone number and address. I stated the reason for my call and he transferred me to a person in their "billing department." I explained that I wanted to cancel my Amazon Prime Account and he spoke with me for what seemed like forever. He then said that he was unable to close my account because it was showing that it was "pending" because it appeared that my account had been accessed by 4 people in various places, Kentucky, California, Houston and Kansas for large purchases and wanted to know had I made those transactions or did had I given them approval to make purchases on my account. I stated no and I don't know people from those states. He said, it appears that these hackers accessed your account through your online accounts. He told me (verified) my address, my email address and phone number and then told me that he would walk through how to file a report with the FTC. I asked, what does this have to do with cancelling my Amazon Prime Account and he said, ma'am, you will need to file this report because it's been hacked and we are unable to close the account due to the large pending charges on the account. I said, how much are the charges, he said $1165.00. I told him, I did not make those purchases and he said, yes ma'am, that's why I'm going to help you file the governmental report. He then said, looks like they previously have been using Bitcoin through your CashApp. I said, I don't have Bitcoin. He said, do you have the app on your phone. I said, yes. He then told me, no worries ma'am, I will help you get this resolved. He asked me to download Trust Wallet and somehow gained access to my CashApp account. While speaking with him on speaker, my boyfriend was listening to the conversation and said, he's a scammer, hand the phone up. I did! P***** and frantic, I checked my online banking account information and it indicated $1890.00 pending from my bank account to my CashApp as various Bitcoin transactions!!!

Got an email for a subscription renewal for Amazon Prime Subscription ****** I DO NOT HAVE AN AMAZON PRIME SUBSCRIPTION.

Ordered through Amazon prime on March 5th, the sellers sent through FL. I watched the report of them travel from FL west, then to NC, then back to CA. To where there was an issue with delivery on march 12th, and it was being sent back to the seller. It ia now march 26th, records show it has been returned to them 5x on the 21st. They said thwy can not give a refund until they have it. They do.. for 5 days now. Their customer service still says they do not have it. I still do not have my money back.

I received an email under the guise of PayPal thanking me for my order for Amazon Prime for 4 devices. The total was $239.04 US. It stated that it would be an auto debit from my bank account. The date of the email was January 9, 2025, Transaction ID: 2784127, PayPal customer ID: tmZandoTssolC, response to member [email protected], message from Roy D. Maness by Kimberlie Mercado at [email protected].

Contacted PayPal with number provided to discuss an issue. While on the line they offered me a deal for 5 years of Amazon Prime for $50 a year. $249.99. Sounded great & since I called them figured I was actually talking to PayPal people. Didn't find out it was a scam for 8 months when I was billed from Amazon for a regular year of service. I called to dispute this charge and found out the other one was the scam. Amazon doesn't offer any plan for more than one year. Now Discover investigated & claim they can't find anything wrong. Do not use 1-888-221-1161 to call PayPal. It has been cloned apparently.

I went onto Amazon prime. My account. On it it said that my account was locked. To call 18773235724. I did and a guy answered. He said Amazon support. He said someone was trying to buy gift cards and crypto from three other states. He asked me to go to play store anydesk. I did . It was applied and opened. He asked me to open my bank account. To check for anything that did not belong. I did. He asked me to open Amazon prime. I did. He asked me to go to payments. I did. He than went to gift cards , put 300$ in. Than put place order. He than asked me for the 3 digits on the back of my card. I hung up. I then googled Amazon prime number. I spoke to a rep and she said that is not a Amazon number. She told me to change password and cancel my checking and debit account. I called back the 18773235724 number I told them that you are not Amazon. They hung up. I had several people call them and now the phone is not available.

I was offered a job as a package verifier from home. I received a package through FedEx and completed my tasks and then shipped it to its destination through UPS. That night I received a call from law enforcement. Specifically Contra Costa County Sheriffs Department in regards to item sent to my house. Somebodys Amazon Prime account was stolen and this item was purchased with stolen card and then sent to MY house through Silver-Horizon, LLC reshippers. After doing some research It appears it is a scam company and putting my name in the hot seat.

The company claimed to be a packing company which sent packages labeled with Amazon Prime tape claiming to be expensive electronics such as laptops and virtual reality equipment. The jobs was to ensure the items (enclosed in the original packaging) was actually inside of the box then print another label with a different address to an unknown address ( which was realized afterwords.

I received an email supposedly from Amazon Prime indicating my membership renewal was coming up and my mode of payment needed updating. There was an "update payment" button to link to something that I'm sure would have stolen my credit card information.

Received email saying my Prime Membership in renewing Sat, January 12, 2025 and default payment method no longer valid. Need to update payment method. Went to my account It was just renewed on November 18, 2024.
