Call from 616-465-0071 purporting to be from Amazon
My wife received a call today that was a recorded message purportedly about
a suspicous Amazon charge for an
iPhone.
She asked me to pick up the phone, but by the time I got to the phone the
call was disconnected. I used *69 to determine the calling number was
1-616-465-0071, though of course the number may have been spoofed. I
searched online and didn't find anyone else reporting a fraudulent call
from that number purporting to be from Amazon. I checked our Amazon
account just to be certain there was no recent charge for something
neither of us ordered, but I didn't see anything ordered after a recent purchase
of ink for my wife's printer. I tried calling the number using *69 just to see
whether I could get anyone at the other end or any identifying voice
message, but only got the message "I'm sorry we can not connect your
call at this time." Subsequent attempts I made to call the number resulted
in a busy signal. At this point, I'm presuming the call was an attempt
by a scammer to obtain information about our Amazon account or a credit
card number associated with the account.
