This number called me today and left a message. When I returned the call, they asked for my email address and tried to ask for my billing address. I refused to say that if they were Amazon they wouldn't be asking for this information since they would have it and would only be contacting me via email. The guy (yes, very heavy Indian accent) tried to then ask me for my last four digits of my credit card at which point I was like "You are so not an Amazon Representative" and then hung up on him. I gave him no pertinent information and called Amazon immediately afterward. They entered all the info and made clear this phone number is not representative of them at all. Do not deal with anyone calling from this phone number!
Like the others, they called to verify a purchase and asked me to verify the last two digits of the credit card used. Definitely fishy but I was just involved in some other fraudulent activities on some of my other accounts. I verified and he asked if I wanted to cancel it. I called back and they have a voice machine set up very convincingly saying that it is Amazon customer service.
The same story as all mentioned below. Amazon, you made a purchase of a printer, the last 4 digits of my expired 2 years ago credit card. They knew my business name, my name, my address. That really scared me. The guy with obvious Indian accent ( 90% of Amazon staff from Customer Service are from India , 9% - from Jamaica) stated he is going to cancel the order and I have to call my bank to stop my credit card.
Same info as the rest of these reports. The fellow with the Indian accent said he was confirming a $77 appliance purchase for my name and last four digits of a credit card. I had heard about these scams where they try to get you to say "yes". I just kept saying "No", "No", "No" and didn't confirm anything. Even when he said something like "I'll cancel it for you then?" *Click* on my end....Yeah, buddy, you do that. I let Amazon know.
This is Amazon's phone number. While I have no doubt that scammers spoof this number and try to steal from you, I can verify that this is Amazon's order verification phone number. I bought two gift cards from Amazon. I went back minutes later to buy two more, but the order did not complete. Within 10 minutes, this number called me. Naturally I did not answer, and my order got cancelled. Amazon fraud department sent me an email telling me to change my password and wait 5 hours before ordering again. I did so and ordered two more gift cards. Got another call from this number which I answered. Indian lady asked for me by name, asked if I ordered the gift cards. After I confirmed the purchase, the order changed from Pending to Complete. So, as in anything, use common sense. Do not give out personal information over the phone. If you ordered something (like gift cards) that scammers normally trade in, you might get a phone call.
