Never answer a call that starts in the middle of a sentence—most automated scams do that. If the caller claims to be Amazon Support about a $400 purchase you never made, hang up immediately and do not provide personal or payment info. Verify any alleged charge by logging into your Amazon account or contacting official customer service through the website, not the phone number they give. Use your carrier’s block feature or a third‑party spam filter to stop future attempts. Keep a record of the caller ID and report the number to the FTC or your phone provider to help curb these phishing scams.
