I too got a call after placing an Amazon order. I called Amazon and they said the call is fraudulent and not from Amazon. They are investigating. The recommended the changing of Amazon password and monitoring debit and credit cards.
The call is fraud and not Amazon. If you get a call from this number call Amazon Customer Service immediately.
Yes, I affirm that it is not Amazon, but a fraudulent scam. They told me to change my password and watch my credit card for charges. What they could not tell me is how this is happening and how criminals are able to access Amazon information. They are investigating.
This is not Amazon! I got a call from this number after placing an order with Amazon. Call seemed suspicious, so I called Amazon customer service. Amazon said they are investigating numerous attempts by these criminals to do credit card fraud by impersonating Amazon.
I hope you hung up on these criminals.
Be sure and call Amazon Customer Service and tell them you got a call from this number.
This call is NOT from Amazon! If you received a call from this number call Amazon Customer service and tell them you got a call. They will tell you they are investigating the caller/phone number for credit card fraud due to the caller impersonating Amazon.
If you are posting and saying this phone number is associated with Amazon, you are either ignorant, or a part of the fraud...or both.
I live in Belgium and for the story I bought this morning a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus for my mom's birthday with my dad's credit card on Amazon.fr.
Shortly after i received a call from the same number as you all originating from Washington. The woman on the phone spoke a perfect french and asked me if i was my father. I told her it was MY account and MY FATHER credit card. She didn't ask anything more. She thanked me and wished me a wonderful afternoon.
I was a little bit confused so i call Amazon France customer service (yes, no amazon in belgium, but France is so close to us it doesn't matter) and the guy on the phone had a worse french accent than the woman from Washington.
I asked him what was that call and after a little bit of waiting time, he told me it was nothing to worry about and that it was just a credit card check and that my order would be shipped shortly after.
He send me a copy of our call so i got a proof of what he said just in case.
So, a possibilty is that the call was really just a check, OR the amazon France guy told me [***] on the phone and just didn't know what it was.
At least i got proof if it blows in my face.
I changed my amazon password after reading your comments cause this all thing is pretty weird.
I will keep an eye on my amazon account and tell my father to keep an eye on his credit card statement.
If it's a scam and Amazon France isn't carefull enough, i will make rain [***] on them :)
P.S: Sorry for my english, i wrote that fast after that call :)
