6 yearsI 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.6 yearsThey said it had something to do with Amazon Prime. When I asked for more info, they called me an idiot and just hung up.Amazon Prime6 yearsI 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.Amazon6 yearsSo, 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!BenAmazon6 yearsgot 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!Amazon Prime6 yearsGot the same call about Amazon Prime charging £99.99. Honestly, just blocked the number straight away.Amazon Prime6 yearsGot a call from "Amazon Prime" telling me someone opened an account with my name and charged me £99.99. I asked the woman to verify my details, but she just said the call was recorded and refused to share anything personal. When I told her I was fine with the info being recorded, she just ended the call! Now, the same number has phoned me again within a day.Amazon Prime6 yearsThese 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.6 yearsjust 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.6 yearsGot 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.Amazon Prime6 yearsGot 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!Amazon Prime6 yearsGot 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.Amazon6 yearsGot 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.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying she was Susan with the National Crime Agency, wanted me to report some fraud on my bank account.SusanNational Crime Agency6 yearsWithout 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!6 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from Amazon Prime, saying my membership had run out. Only thing is, I don’t even use Amazon!Amazon PrimeAmazon6 yearsGot another call today claiming it was from Amazon, that makes three so far.Amazon6 yearsI got a call from 01978366289, but as soon as I answered, the line just cut off. Pretty weird.6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with Amazon, telling me that someone had signed up for Amazon Prime using my details and I needed to download an app to fix it. I asked them to confirm my name as Mrs Gates. When I said that wasn’t right, they asked again for my name, but I didn’t say it and then they just ended the call.AmazonGates6 yearsI got a call from this number a little while ago, a man with a foreign accent said his name was Peter. First he claimed he was from Amazon, then suddenly switched to saying he worked for BT. He told me I hadn’t paid my account and asked me to sort it out. When I started asking him questions, he just ended the call.PeterBTAmazonSubmit Your Own Report (01978 366289)
