This seems to be the season for phone scams.
Yesterday, I posted a warning about a phone scam saying that Social Security is “taking legal action” against you for fraudulent Social Security claims.
This afternoon, I got another scam phone call, with a caller ID of (915) 200-3915. A recording said that a charge of more than $900 was made to my Amazon.com account and that I should call the (915) number if I had not made the purchase.
I immediately hung up, went online to my Amazon account and saw that no such charge had been made to my account.
The advice from Amazon is to report the scam phone call to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Go here.
If you got a scam or phishing Amazon email, or landed on a suspicious webpage, report it to Amazon:
- Open a new email and attach the email you suspect is fake.For suspicious webpages, copy & paste the link into the email body.If you can’t send the email as an attachment, forward it.
- Send the email to [email protected]Note: Sending the suspicious email as an attachment is the best way for Amazon to track it.
