I had someone hack my Amazon Prime account. I had to close my credit card on the account because someone that was not me gained access to my account. They made 4 orders on the account to an ******************* in ***** ****. The orders were made with gift cards and only $2.20 (roughly) was charged to my Amex card. I alerted Amazon, but they only told me they would report it to a special department. I received no response that it was reported. I then went into the account, deleted *********************** address and tried to cancel the orders. I told Amazon about it again, but all they would do is reset my password and tell me not to share my information. I have not shared my information with anyone. I asked if they could log my account out of every device and reset my phone number to the current phone number I have. They reset my password, but not my phone number. I found that the fraudulent use was ordering more things from my account. ********************** never responded. I tried to tell them again. They finally took note, but haven't been in touch with me again. I finally after the 8th call got an agent to change my phone number. There is still someone that added themselves to my account. I don't know how to stop the fraud and Amazon is unresponsive.Customer Answer

I changed my password and removed my old phone number on 12/27/2023 but this morning trying to log in I find my old phone number is again a part of my account.
Amazon sent me an email stating they are reviewing, but then directed me to their website search engine to find solutions, but there is NO WAY I can fix fraud on my account!
I moved to **** and my number is now ************. I loaded it and now it isnt listed and my old number was somehow traded. I also removed profiles of an Amayih and an Amayiahb or something similar. I never used profiles as far as I know.
I havent received a response from Amazon that provides status of fraud and what has been taken for actions on the back side. I call into their ************** and nothing ever gets addressed about fraud, but the customer service reps keep saying they submitted something.

12/31/2023 - I have called Amazon every week over a month. They continue to hang up on me or tell me that I am the fraudulent person although I can answer all the questions right. They have told me to open up a new account with my new phone number because they can't do anything for me. I asked to be refunded my Prime account and they just hung up on me again.Customer Answer

I called customer service today and they hung up on me three times and told me they deleted my email. They told me I was terminated as a customer, and I asked if I could have my ********************** at least refunded. Then they hung up. Then, when I called back in, they refused to acknowledge the call and sat on hold for 20 minutes. The, we called from a different number and I was provided an email address to send a message to.
At this point, I want a refund on my prime account.

Complaint: 21054814
I am rejecting this response because: Amazon has not addressed how someone else gained access to my account and they have not addressed what they are doing to protect the account for the following reasonsL1. There still appeared to be another profile for an Amiyahb (spelling may be a little off). This was not me. This was whom ever hacked the account.
2. Amazon unlocked my account, but after unlocking and setting up two factor authentication, I found the profile for Amiyahb was created.
3. After Amazon cleared my old cell phone number *************) out, I found it attached to my user profile. I had done all the checking I could to clear out my Amazon set up on my phone and my computer, but then days later, I see the old phone number and the profile.
4. I deleted the Amiyahb profile, but I don't know if it is gone and if my old cell phone number is gone. When will Amazon address the concern with someone gaining access. I have again requested all old devices to log out and I set up two factor authentication with the only cell phone number I own.

I ordered my partner a cellphone for Christmas on 12/23/2022. When I received the cellphone, the box was already opened and no cell phone. When I called Amazon, and told them I didn't receive the phone and they sent me another. I received the phone finally but it was after Christmas, and my partner bought themselves a cellphone. I went to send the phone back since it was no longer needed. Amazon has reported that they received the cellphone back on 1/4/2023 and it will take 2-3 days to receive a refund. I have not received one and have called multiple times to ask for an update and have not heard back.Business Response

Amazon.com is REFUSING to give me a refund for an item that is defective and qualifies for a refund because they want my personal identification (drivers license) that I don't feel comfortable giving them. There is NO need for them to have my drivers license. It was not required to make my ********************** account or to be a ********************** member. It was not required to make this purchase. The refund money would simply be returned to my bank account. ********************** sent a message saying "Because we noticed abnormal activity on your account, we need to verify your identity before we can consider your request for a refund or replacement. Even after wanting the drivers license, there is still no guarantee if Im going to get my money back. I dont understand what the abnormal activity is, or are they just trying to not refund me for my item? I want to do this return without providing my drivers license to their THIRD PARTY.

Hello,
I'm Arun from Amazon.com.
Thank you for writing back to us.
I truly do understand your hesitation with regard to submitting your government issued ID for verification, and your frustration with the current situation.
We also appreciate the amount of time you have been by our side, which is why, if there was an alternate way available for you to receive a refund, I would have done it for you. Unfortunately, in this case, there is not. This is primarily for the trust you have placed in us to maintain the safety and security of your account.
We request your understanding and co-operation with the verification. I will also put this forward to the relevant stakeholders, so that they are aware of your experience and the impact this has had.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this regard.

I am rejecting this response because:
I did not have to show my ID to open my ********************** account, ********************** or to purchase this or any other merchandise from them. The item is eligible for a return or refund as stated on their website. It did not say I have to provide my ID for this return, and now I was told I have only 6 days to do this ( which now 3 days left) or I can not return or be refunded on this item. I simply want to do my return without my personal identity being shared to a 3rd party to determine if it is me or not and to have a say if Amazon can give a full refund. Amazon or the third party has no clue what I look like to determine if it's me or not on that ID. And that is my personal information on it and I do not need theft done on me. I didn't purchase my item through a third party. Plus I didn't not have to show my ID when delivered. I simply want to return this product with a full refund and be done. I have a receipt from Amazon.

I have never had an Amazon prime account but have ordered products from this business in the past. I discovered that they had been charging my account for almost two years. I contacted them to stop, they agreed and did credit $15.80 back to me but they continue to make this withdrawal. I have contacted my back and canceled my check card twice to stop this but after the 3rd time this has continued.Business Response

Hello. I greatly appreciate your help with this matter. Amazon is stating that they closed my account, I never opened an account or gave them permission to access my checking account which is alarming. How can I be assured that next month I won't be charged again? If so can I pursue legal action, this has given a great amount of anxiety and stress. ***

On December 12th, I ordered gifts with my Prime account, expecting free shipping. Surprisingly, I was charged $14.70. **************** assured me a refund post-receipt, noting it on my account. After I received the order, they backtracked, prompting a two-hour call where they acknowledged the initial assurance. However, manager ***** refused the refund, displaying rude behavior and abruptly ending the call.Frustrated, I filed a complaint, only to receive a response from ***** reaffirming her refusal to refund, suggesting no wrongdoing. Beyond the monetary concern, this experience highlighted a misuse of power and dismissive attitude, creating a sense of discrimination and frustration. The company's handling of the matter raised broader concerns about its customer service practices.Business Response

Order #: 701-6841777-1761869
Date: December 12
Items: 2*Shoe organizer, G9 led bulb dimmable, vitafit digital scale
Issue:
On December 12th, I placed an order for gifts using a different account to maintain privacy from my main Prime account. I was surprised to find a $14.70 shipping charge. Contacting customer service within an hour to see if I cancel my order or reorder it using my prime account to valid the charge, I was assured a refund after receiving the items as the person explain that there is no need to have prime account for this reason and we refund the shipping usually and its a really simple process, and the representative noted this commitment on my account.
Upon receiving the order, I promptly contacted customer service for the promised refund. However, a different representative claimed there was no record of the initial commitment, contradicting the assurances provided earlier. This led to a frustrating two-hour phone call where they eventually acknowledged the initial commitment after checking the transcript of the chat and told me the info was false by the representative but, disappointingly, the manager on duty, April, refused to honor the refund.
Adding to my dissatisfaction, ***** displayed discourteous behavior by abruptly ending the call without allowing me to fully address my concerns. Frustrated by this encounter, I filed a formal complaint not only to recover the monetary loss but also to bring attention to what seemed to be a misuse of power and a dismissive attitude toward customer grievances.
Several days later, I received a response to my complaint, and to my dismay, it was from the same manager, April. In her communication, she reaffirmed her position, asserting that she had done nothing wrong and adamantly refused to issue the refund. This response exacerbated my frustration, as it suggested a lack of accountability and a dismissive attitude towards customer concerns.
At this point, my dissatisfaction transcended the financial aspect of the issue. It became apparent that my experience was marked by a power dynamic wherein a manager seemingly wielded authority in a manner that left me feeling bullied and discriminated against. The persistence of this attitude despite formal complaint submission suggested a systemic issue within the customer service framework, further compounding my sense of frustration and disillusionment with the company's practices.Business Response

Horrible and stressful. On Christmas Day I receive an email from Amazon saying they charged me for an item I had already been refunded for because it supposedly was not received. Clearly I dropped it off at a Whole Foods drop off location. (As selected by Amazon) and was scanned in which is why I got refunded for the ***** to start with. I didnt look back as I didnt anticipate the drama I got from having to call in. I despised the message as I knew I would need to waste time calling in. So when I do I got transferred to rose which told me she needs drop off receipt. I said how. It says that it got scanned in even in my app. I told her I cannot keep every single email as once I get it to the drop off location scanned its not on me after that. How could it be. She told me to contact the carrier. By this point Im livid. Contact a Whole Foods Amazon employee that wouldnt even know what Im talking about. Refund me and compensate me for this stupid unnecessary hassle me on Xmas dayBusiness Response

I ordered a $100 mastercard gift card from Amazon to be delivered to my niece in a separate state. The order was placed 12/18. Any empty bag was delivered. on 12/20 There was essentially an unsealed package delivered by Amazon or the ***** I informed Amazon of this immediately via Chat to be told ultimately someone would be in touch via email in ***** hours. I then called 2 days later only to be told there was no immediate recourse as the card had been used, though they could not tell me when or where. Finally, on Saturday December 23rd, I received on email from Amazon stating that "our usual trouble shoot methods won't work for this specific situation." In turn, I have been left with no option but to dispute the charge with my credit card company and inform you all. Specifically, this situation could be easily resolved or prevented by determining whether the card was used prior to delivery, or even keeping it inactive prior to delivery. Further, following this experience, I placed a review of my experience on Amazon, which they removed. Obviously, had I been allowed to get an accurate picture of how poorly Amazon ensures the security of their gift cards, I wouldn't have ordered one. As Amazon removed my review that was accurate, I am sure they have removed other low reviews. In turn they are selling a product that is being misrepresented on their site and with no incentive to actually delver it as the fact that they have no trouble shoot method for such a common situation would suggest they expect most people to just give up on trying to get it resolve at it's ultimately not worth my time or your time.Business Response

Hello,
We have denied the customers request for a refund on Order 112-8869086-5334663 as we have a delivery confirmation on this order. We are unable to track the claim details of the gift card as it was a third party gift card. Kindly request customer to contact the third party (Mastercard) to track and invalidate the gift card (if not claimed yet) so they could request a new card from Mastercard.

We purchased a Wacom table from Amazon for a xmas present on Nov. 25th. (Order number 112-9247633-9093045) The package arrived undamaged and we wrapped it and put it under our tree. My daughter was delighted when she got the present but to our dismay, the stylus was missing. I contacted Amazon Customer Support thinking that the simply resolution would be for them to send out the stylus. They refused to do so, so I asked if a credit could be given, and I would purchase one. They were unwilling to do either, with the reason given that they cannot send out partial items. They refused to do anything other than have us package the item and return for a refund (which would leave my daughter without a tablet and put onus on me to find or purchase another) and in addition, we cannot return the item if it has a missing component!?! The only other option was a replacement (which according to them would take two weeks). I explained neither was reasonable and they ended the chat. So, since I didn't want my daughter to be without her Christmas present, I immediately ordered a pen which hopefully will be here in two days (Order number 114-4706803-6065843)So in a nutshell, I got a product which wasn't as advertised and Amazon refused to send out or give me a credit to purchase the missing component. So they basically charged me for a product which was not delivered as offered, provided no relief for their mistake and it ended up costing me 72 additional dollars out of my pocket to rectify.Business Response

I ended up purchasing another pen which arrived in two days as opposed to the two weeks it would have taken for a refund.
