This is a scam to validate Credit Card details. I purchased a Gift Card from Amazon and received a call not long after stating that they needed confirmation that I made the purchase, I stupidly did not ask questions as they knew the amount. They did not request any personal information and I did not give any, but they said they would process it. The gift card was still delivered and I activated it, but not sure how they knew about it.

I then saw two authorisation transactions for $0 on my account, referencing Amazon and Visa, the Amazon one also referenced a phone number (08) 6621 6107. I spoke to Amazon both on Live Chat and on the phone, both stated that the call was not from them and that they do not have a process in place where they would call someone like this. They DO sometimes perform authorisations on new cards, but this was not new.

I have cancelled my card, changed passwords and enabled 2FA, I would suggest anyone else with similar circumstances to do the same, if they can do an authorisation, then they can use your card.

I had also just placed an order with Amazon using Klarna hours ago.
Agree dodgy as it was well after 10pm.
I received no emails from Amazon re my order so glad I blocked it as Scam !

Caller: Amazon

Called by a lady with an Indian accent a few minutes after placing an order for a mobile phone. I couldn't understand her initially but eventually realised it was about the phone I had just purchased. She basically wanted to verify that I did make the order so I asked her for details of the order and she was able to provide them to me.

She then asked for verification so I replied that I did place that order. No further information was required from after I confirmed and she ended the call saying she just needed verification and would start processing the order.

After the call I contacted Amazon via online chat and the person on the other end said yes, it could have been a verification call.

So seems legit.

Caller: Amazon

It is Amazon, I haven't used Amazon in over 2 years & I made a large purchase then they called 5 mins later. I didn't answer the call initially but then read the comment here. I had to change address and that was all they were confirming, they didn't ask me for credit card details. It sounds dodgy but its all good.

Caller: Probably a scammer

Same thing as everyone else, but it was strange... he had a thick indian accent (as soon as I heard it I knew it was most likely some scammer). He had just called to confirm the order and that my delivery address was correct. I then reluctantly confirmed my delivery address for him (Im stupid for doing that). However thats all the information he asked for.

I then asked him how I know this was a legit call and he then proceeded to annouce that my account was inactive for 3 years... WHICH IT WAS! At this point I was beyond confused. I called Amazon immediately and they said that they hadn't tried to contact me so now I feel like an idiot giving that scammer information.

This followed another previous scam call. Block the number immediately.

Contacted Amazon Aus and they say this is not them.

I just got this call from the number 5 minutes from me purchasing 2 items from Amazon. The call was a male with a thick Indian accent stating he was from Amazon, asking “hi is this (my name)?” Then asked me if I had purchased the two items I just bought.. after I confusingly said yes? He said “ok thanks for confirming I will now process your order” then ends the call. I was so confusing because 1. He didn’t really ask for my personal details, just my first name and items.. 2. How did he know my purchases? Currently after that call no money has been taken out of my bank luckily but I’ll keep an eye out. I changed my amazon password just to be safe and I had contacted amazon themselves and they said that the call was definitely not from them and they’ll do an investigation. Do not pick up that number! I’m still confused on how that phone call was a scam phone call since they haven’t done anything yet to my accounts, just to confirm my purchases? Weird.

Caller: Amazon

This is legit. They call to check that gift card orders are not being made on your account without permission, and then release the order for you. I get the whole Indian call centre hate, but legit is legit.

Check your credit card immediately... I checked my credit card after this call and I had a few charges that were not from my activities... Pain in the back side as now they have to do an investigation and I had to close the account :(

Caller: Amazon I think

The background noise was so loud I could not hear properly, and hung up. But a few minutes later, I got an email saying my Amazon order was cancelled because a call was disconnected.
I re ordered from Amazon, and hopefully, if they call, I'll know what it's about

Ordered a gift card on Amazon. Within a few minutes, got a call from this number, but was flagged as a fraud/scam call by Hiya on my mobile. They didn't leave a message. A few minutes later, I got an email from Amazon that my order had been cancelled saying that I had requested it. I certainly didn't cancel my order, but it was listed under 'Cancelled orders' on Amazon.com.au. Changed my password and enabled 2sv.

I got a call from the same number after placed an order through Amazon, stating that they are calling amazon and mentioned my name and my order details. Thats all.. looks like a scam call.

Got called multiple times right after placing an order on Amazon. Looked the number up first though and found this, thanks internet.

Called at six am..... Seriously?

BEWARE! This is not Amazon!

I placed an order with Amazon for three items. 10 mins later I received a call from (02) 7228 1102. The caller was a male with a thick Indian accent. He said he were calling in relation to a recent purchase on my Amazon account. He then asked whether I just purchased some specific items that he then accurately named (in case it's relevant to anyone else, among the items was some EBL rechargeable batteries and a hard drive).

He said he was calling because the order had been placed using a VPN (which I was) and that he was therefore checking with me to see whether it was a legitimate order.

He already had my name (first and last), as well as the exact details of the items I had just purchased. He asked me to confirm my address, which I partially did, but he was able to complete the remainder of the address, meaning he definitely already had that information.

After the call ended I immediately called Amazon to query them about the phone call and the Amazon assistant that I spoke to indicated that they had NOT called me, and that they never make outgoing calls regarding customer purchases. Customers have to request that Amazon calls them.

I have also had two-factor authentication on my account and I use a password manager, meaning that all my passwords are garbled codes that are not shared across any other websites/accounts.

In light of the above, I suspect my account may have been compromised through a parcel tracking app that I had installed a few weeks prior. The parcel tracking app I installed was called "Packages", which I have now uninstalled.

I've been using Amazon for years and have never received a call such as this before, yet this first call comes after giving the iOS "Packages" parcel tracking app the ability to access my Amazon account in order to track the shipment of items.

Has anybody else who received a call from this number also been using the iPhone parcel tracking app called "Packages" or any other package tracking app?

Purchased goods from amazon.

Within 5 minutes had several missed calls with voicemail saying they were from amazon and they would call me back.

Got in contact with amazon via a call back through their contact us page and they confirmed that it was a spam call.

Not too sure how they would know that I had placed an order so quickly..

I placed an order for an expensive item and then received three calls from this number. The VM left was from an Indian person that I couldn't even understand one word. SERIOUSLY DODGY. I've blocked the number.

They called straight after ordering a macbook. The voicemail they left knew i had ordered an apple product. The voice quality of the message was very poor but i can make out 'apple'. I changed my password and enabled 2fa. Spoke to amazon through support chat and they said its a spam call. No idea how they know what i just purchased?!

Same here don't answer
