Scam???

 

On Wednesday, 3/6/34, I received a call from Houston Texas – 346-327-3901 – claiming they were from Amazon. The person said I had bought an Apple laptop  for $1799.99. I told them I didn’t and after much discussion, including the delivery place was in Tenessee, they said they were transferring me to my bank’s fraud department. 

 

At the alleged fraud department, I was asked what other products I purchased from Amazon. There was very bad reception. Since I at my doctor’s office, I didn’t have internet and asked the person to call me back. Again, poor reception, even when I moved outside. This time the number – 202-992-5600 – still had bad reception. I told them to call back later. After that, I stopped answering calls and got around a dozen from BOTH numbers. I finally answered one of them and told them I think this is a fraud and would go to my bank to deal with it. The calls stopped. I went to my on-line bank account and there was no record of this purchase. 

 

Then, I went to Amazon.com, searched for Apple laptops and learned there were no computers for sale at that price.  I then went to Apple.com and learned the top price for their newest top-of-the-line laptop model is $100 less than what the scammers claimed.

 

I’M ON MY WAY TO THE BANK TO DISCUSS THIS AND ANYWAY, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS SCAM.
