The Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office received a report of someone calling and identifying themselves as part of an AMAZON SECURITY TEAM, stating “there is an issue with your account.”
The caller claims to be an Amazon customer support or security representative and explains that there’s an issue with your account, recent order, or some type of compromised financial situation.
They even go so far as to threaten the intended victim with law enforcement action, even telling them they have been under surveillance.
Of course this caller hung up the phone and called law enforcement to give them the information.
As always, you should never give anyone information that calls you. If you think there may be an issue, contact Amazon direct. If you go to amazon.com, there are several areas where you can report suspicious activity.
