91-80-67873000

A call from India... claiming to be Amazon Web Services... asking me to verify my account info.  This is phishing for sure.  I told them to get hosed.

Actually its a amazon.com call center from india as the guy i talked to did assist me with my account.
Did not ask for any account information either so its the real deal

Yes, Amazon fraud prevention calling to confirm a purchase.

i got a call from 91-80-67873000 this morning. The guy first said it was to verify my account info of amazon web service. he asked me questions like my name, school name, home address, email address and also about my credit card. he didn't ask me anything related to the actual number, but he just asked about what type of card was it and in which country this card was issued.... I basically answered all the questions but i felt mad shady after hanging up. I called the amazon web service but the assistant said that they don't do anything like that.

is there any ppl who have experienced same thing as me? is this really fishing or real amazon verification process??

Received call from the same number.  Called Amazon at 866.216.1072.  Spoke to "Nikki" in the Philippines.  Gave her the number.  she put me on hold for 5 minutes then said the phone number tracked to www.callerr.com.  Also said that number or site was not affiliated with Amazon.  Also said to just ignore the call.  Sais Amazon does not do anything with that info.

They left a voice mail just saying "Hello? Hello?" and then another a few minutes later that hung up on the voice mail.

An Amazon representative informed me that if you live within the USA, you will *never* be called by anyone from Amazon from outside the USA.  This number is nothing more than a scammer.

Call 1: He just asked me for "my name" and "card number". I refused to offer that information.
Call 2: A female explained why she called.

In my view, phone PIN and credit card should be enough for register a account. However, if you register two AWS accounts with ONE credit card. This phone call will be used to check whether someone else hijacks your card.

Just providing email information is enough.

I received the same call this morning...A guy from India claiming to be with Amazon Payments. I thought it was suspicious anyway so I asked him to prove it. He danced around the question and never answered it. He did ask me if I knew two different people that I had received payments from. I said yes and he asked me to verify the amounts. I told him I wasn't comfortable with that and the call sounded like a scam. He actually started stuttering and sounded nervous. I asked him to email me his questions so I could have it in writing and he refused.
I called Amazon right away. Not once or twice but four different times and spoke to four different people each time. Everyone I spoke to told me the same thing. No, they will not do this. They would contact through email for a matter like that. Guys, don't give these people information.

I received a call from this number earlier today and chose to ignore the call.  The same number called shortly thereafter and, again, I ignored it.  I then Googled the number to find all of the posts noted here ...  When this number called a third time I decided to answer.  The caller claimed to be calling from amazon.com and asked if I had placed an order using my credit card as well as if had I authorized anyone else to use the card.  I informed him that I had used my card to place the order.  The next question was about my address ...  I stated that I used my card to place an order and that he needed no additional information from me.  His response was, "Thank you; good-bye."

He said he was calling from Rite Aid Pharmacy and asked me if I had made a purchase online. I asked him what the purchase was, he put me on hold, came back and said it was something (couldn't understand) and headache tablets. I told him I hadn't made the purchase and he told me to call the bank because my card may have been compromised.

I checked my cards and nothing is showing up as pending. Kind of scratching my head on this one.

He asked for me by name and he also called my office number.

Just got a call stating that he was calling for to verify that I order and camera from Amazon through a company call Mordys.  Started question him about what a account he was talking about he said he would cancel the order and said it was a Mastercard account and to contact my bank, thanked me and hang up.  I don't have a Mastercard account.  Phishing!

Just received 2 calls from this number, I sent both to voicemail and they
didn't leave a msg.

This call is from someone at Amazon.com giving a "heads up" to you about someone using your charge card to purchase something.  Someone managed to get my CapitalOne charge card number, they used it to join Amazon.com membership which they charged $1.00 for the membership on, then used my charge card to purchase shoes at Zappos for over $246.00....CapitalOne also was calling me at the same time about these charges as this 918067873000 number kept calling and calling.  CapitalOne had put the charges on hold till they contacted me....so now they are closing my account and issuing me a new account number and cards.   I have not used this account in ages and it had no balance till these illegal charges, so if you get a strange call from this number I would suggest you check all the charges on your charge card(s) as part of the scam using your account is to sign up on Amazon.com for membership and charge $1.00 to your account to see if it's valid then they go on a shopping spree with your charge card.  

Got a call at work asking to speak to my boss, supposedly from Amazon.co.uk yet the person had an American accent and the country code is India...they would not give me any details and would not give me the name of anyone or a phone number or email for me to call back to check the authenticity of their call. They were extremely flustered when I asked them for this.

I'm surprised that Amazon do not take steps to prevent this phishing, I will try to report it to them in any case.

Forgot to mention that they had also tried to call another director within our company, asking whether they had made purchases with an Amex card via Amazon. We are going to try to block their number!

This is interesting. If these numbers are being sent out from amazon it's being done extremely quickly. I signed up this morning for a free EC2 and got a call less than 12 hours after. I declined giving my information and made it clear that I didn't trust who was on the phone, but the guy on the other end seemed to have all of my information... If they really don't work for amazon then I'm worried how they got hold of my information...

this Number just left me a message, saying I ordered something and they need to confirm my cc#. I can barley understand this guy on my voicemail.

Got a call from this number within minutes of finalizing a purchase on Amazon.  I normally don't answer numbers I don't recognize, but answered this call.  It was a heavily accented male ask for me by my first name and I said they had the wrong number.  After reading these posts I'm guessing it was related to Amazon somehow but still not sure if legit or not.  I'll keep an eye on my credit card activity now.  

Guys, this is not fraud, it isn't phishing, it isn't a scam. To everyone on here saying otherwise, stop trying to freak everyone out. You don't know what you're talking about. Further, it isn't an "international" number. It's their dialing system. 9 to get an outside line, 1 is the international code for the United States. The call is from Texas.

This IS a call from Amazon fraud prevention to randomly verify first time orders of _anything_ from the company. You do not have to have purchased a pair of socks from amazon.com to get the call. Amazon has hundreds of business lines that are transparent to end customers. They provide credit card processing services to tens of thousands of merchants (just like paypal). They provide fulfillment services (warehousing and sending items for online merchants like Shopify). They sell books through mobile device app stores (Kindle). They even sell web hosting (Amazon Web Hosting). ALL of these can generate a call from Amazon fraud prevention.

Calling Amazon back at their main 800 number won't get you someone who knows what you're talking about. The company has nearly 100,000 employees and some kid in a call center in Indiana probably doesn't even know what AWS is, much less what a call center in India does, whether they say they do or not.

Just have some common sense. Pick up the phone. Listen to what they say. An Amazon call center rep will never ask you for your social security number, passwords, or credit card numbers. They MAY ask you for the _last_four_digits of your credit card number, your name, mailing address, email address, or transaction amounts. Giving this information won't all of a sudden open up your checking account to vultures, circling, waiting to pick you dry of every penny.
