Heads up: calls from +13127960319 are a classic Amazon‑order‑verification scam. The message cites a $77.99 charge and urges you to call back to cancel or verify, often using a heavy foreign accent. Never share personal info or grant remote access—legitimate companies won’t ask for that over the phone. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your carrier. If you’re unsure about a charge, log into your account directly or call the official support line you find on the company’s website. Staying skeptical and keeping your accounts secure are your best defenses.
