Scam Calls: This is Amazon…

I’ve received scam calls from scammers pretending to be from Amazon.com:

“This is Amazon. This call is to authorize the payment of $799 for the recent order of iPhone 11 on your Amazon account. If you do not authorize this payment, please press one to speak to our customer support representative. Thank you.”

A number of people told me that they too received similar calls. Unfortunately, some of them fell for the scam and gave the scammer access to their computer.

The scammer insists on “verifying” your Amazon account or gave them access to your computer remotely.

Should you receive calls like these, do not panic, don’t forget to bring a towel…

Do not press anything to speak to the fake customer support, simply hang up.

You can always check your Amazon.com account for any activities.
