Phone call purports to be from Amazon

Yes, we get one practically every day!

Defoe spam!

As I've said before ( fraud on Amazon) remove your card from the site. Put it back on when you next order.
There is a lot more fraud on Amazon than is generally known.
So if your card isn't on the site, you are safe.

I work at a sheltered housing complex, and 3 of the elderly residents there got calls the other week.

It's an everyday occurrence here so I just leave the phone on the arm of the sofa till I remember to hang up.

This is one of several that I get every week. Others tell me that my internet services are about to be terminated, or its BT technical services or TalkTalk technical department. I just put the phone down after blocking the number.

I took my credit card off the Amazon site after reading about someone who was due to get a new credit card and Amazon knew the number before she did. Now on the rare occasions when I want to buy something I get an Amazon gift voucher from Tesco and use that to pay. That means that I usually have a couple of pounds left in my account, but I think it's worth it for the peace of mind.

Also, if I inadvertently press the wrong button (again) and mistakenly sign up for Prime, they can't charge me for it.

Panorama was about the scammers last night. I’ve just watched it on iplayer.

It's a scam. We've had two calls. Idiots!

Thanks Wheniwasyourage, I have taken my card off Amazon.

You're welcome, Alexa

Just noticed - MerylStreep suggested it first!
