Hadn't heard this scam before yesterday: [View all]
I like the new feature to "turn off" debit card on the bank website temporarily. I had a bit of a sweat-it moment yesterday when I listened to my voice-mail.
This scam was obviously an automated message designed to get the call recipient to respond to their system.
"Your purchase of (X product) for $1,426.42 did not go through on Amazon. Please press 2 to allow this transaction, or if this transaction is unrecognized, stay on the line for customer service"
I only had a momentary "Oh, shit" moment. But no pending transactions on the bank site nor my Amazon accounts now checked twice since yesterday when this happened.
I'm glad I don't pick up unrecognized numbers. Most scammers won't leave voice-mail.
Anyway, heads up. I'm certain it's a scam to get fools to give this scammer your Amazon account access.
