I got a call like that too, they claimed my Prime was compromised and said they’d give me back £99.99. I told the bloke I don’t even have a Prime account and called him out for being a scammer. Then he just hung up on me.

They said it had something to do with Amazon Prime. When I asked for more info, they called me an idiot and just hung up.

I just got a call from a woman with a foreign accent claiming Amazon was going to give me £99.99 back for a prime membership. She wanted me to get on my computer and said she’d guide me step-by-step over the phone to cancel it and get the refund. When I said no, she got oddly upset, which set off alarm bells straight away so I ended the call. I looked up this number afterwards and yep, it was dodgy. Quite annoyed I can’t seem to find any way to get in touch with Amazon to warn them about this so they might put a warning on their site.

So, I got a call from someone claiming to be ‘Ben’ from Amazon saying that Prime was suddenly activated on my account yesterday. He asked if it was me or if I’d shared my personal info with anyone recently. I told him no. When he offered to fix it over the phone, I said no thanks, I’d handle it myself and ended the call. It all sounded pretty convincing but there was one thing he said that seemed off and made me a bit suspicious. I’m not going to share that bit here though, wouldn’t want him to change his scam on others!

got a call from someone claiming to be amazon prime, telling me an account has been opened in my name and I've been charged £99. i asked the lady to confirm my name but she said the call was recorded and couldn’t share any personal info. i told her i was fine with my details being on record but then she just hung up. now ive got another call from the same number after just one day. really suspicious!

I just had a rather unsettling experience with Amazon Prime. It seems that an account has been set up in my name without my consent, and they’ve slapped me with a charge of £99.99! When I contacted them to verify my identity, the woman on the line mentioned that the call was being recorded and could not share any personal details. I offered to confirm my information anyway, but she abruptly ended the call! Now, just a day later, I’ve received another call from the exact same number. Quite concerning, isn't it?

These lot are just scammers looking to nick your bank details and steal cash. They keep ringing me but hang up as soon as I start talking back to them on purpose. When you get a call like this, tell them off for trying to con folks - it really throws them off and they suddenly sound different. Sometimes, asking for an apology works too, which they absolutely can’t stand. Afterwards, make sure you report the number to your phone company and let them know it was a scam attempt. They’ll look into it for sure.

just got a call from this number, total silent or some robot voice. i usually answer with silly stuff like "hello ghost," "computer calling?" or "silent again?" and most times they hang up straight away. pretty easy to spot.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Amazon and that there was an attempt to set up Prime using my info. Sounded fishy to me.

Got a call yesterday from someone saying they were with Amazon Prime and that I owed £99.99 to keep my subscription going. Total rip off, I don't even have Amazon Prime!

Got a call from a woman with what sounded like an Indian accent, asking if I wanted to renew my Amazon Prime subscription for £99. Bit odd since I pay monthly anyway. I kinda blurted out that I actually work for Amazon, just to see what would happen. She then asked what “department” I’m in, which I thought was a bit weird. I told her the area I work in and just like that, she hung up on me! Pretty funny if you ask me. Anyway, watch out for these scams! Me = 1, Amazon scammer = 0.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent saying something about Amazon Prime. The connection was really bad on his side, and he kept making me say stuff over again. Seemed a bit dodgy and not very professional, so I just ended the call instead of wasting time.

Without a doubt, this seems like a risky scam where they want to sneak into your computer. Make sure you don’t give them the chance!

I received a call from 01978366289, but as soon as I picked up, the line went completely silent. Very peculiar, isn’t it?

I received a call purporting to be from Amazon, alleging that an Amazon Prime account had been created under my name and instructed me to download an app to sort the situation. When I prompted the caller to verify my name, I offered "Mrs Gates." Upon hearing it was incorrect, they quizzed me for my actual name, which I refused to disclose, leading them to simply end the call abruptly. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a call from this number earlier, and a chap with a thick accent introduced himself as Peter, claiming to work for BT. But then he switched his story and said he was actually with Amazon. He started to talk about an outstanding payment on my account and insisted that I sort it out immediately. When I pressed him for more details, he abruptly hung up on me. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!
