Scammers phoning Amazon Prime customers

[Eldorado]

"Scammers are telephoning Amazon Prime customers in a bid to access private information and bank account details.

"While fraudsters often attempt to mimic huge, familiar companies, this is often down the route of email or text with phishing links. 

"However, the Chartered Trading Standards Institute has today warned that there has been a sharp uptick of phone calls from scammers to households, asking them to press 'one' on the keypad.

"If they are tricked into doing so, they will be taken through to a fraudster posing as a customer service representative at the e-commerce giant."

Yup, me too. I like to play with them for a while. They love it when you sound senile. You can practically hear them drooling on the phone.
