Imagine receiving a text that says your card was hit with a $2,000 charge for a Whirlpool fridge you never bought. That’s the hallmark of a smishing campaign using the 850‑203‑4813 number to mimic legitimate retailers. These messages often mimic order IDs and brand names to look convincing, but the contact number never belongs to the actual company. If you get one, don’t call the number; instead verify directly through the retailer’s official website or app. Report the message to your carrier by texting 7726, and consider enabling spam filters on your device. Staying skeptical and checking accounts regularly are your best defenses.
The same message was received from this number.
To address unwanted text messages, forwarding them to 7726 can help carriers block such messages, although it's worth noting that not all carriers support this code, and contacting one's carrier directly may be necessary for assistance.
Today, I also received the same text message as others.
It seems that many people have purchased the same Whirlpool refrigerator, as evidenced by the text message I received today.
Today, at 3:44 pm, I received a text message from this number:
An attempted scam was made through this number.
A message claimed that my card was charged $2193.00 for a refrigerator, but the request to contact them seems like a potential scam.
Recieved the same text, saying i bought a Whirlpool fridge, but it had a typo
Experiencing the same mesage has been frustating
The same experience happened to me, with an identical script, and it's worth noting that Amazon doesn't contact customers by phone or text, so it's essential to verify account information through their customer service number.
I recieved a text message with the same details, including the phone number and dollar amount, it was about a 4 door fridge, seems fishy.
A similar incident occurred, where a text from 754.272.7665 claimed a fridge purchase of $2193, and upon calling the provided number 850.203.4813 from a multi-line phone at work, it became apparent that the call was connected to a room full of scammers posing as Amazon representatives.
I recieved a text message saying my card was charged $2,271 for a Insignia Massage Chair, and to contact the sender at 850-203-4813, but I dont intend to give them the time of day.
This number is likely being used for malicious purposes, such as gaining remote access to computers, and should be ignored
A suspicious message claimed my card was charged $1694.00 for a treadmill order, prompting me to contact a different number for more information
