This is regarding a fake call I received this morning saying that I am selected among 10 other people for some kind of amazon promotion
I received the call from the this number from a person named Anish Sharma from accounts section of sales and promotion department from Amazon– 91-8327468319
I was given a list of gift options and was asked to choose any one of the gifts as below.
1. Dell laptop 15.6 inches
2. Sony LED TV 40 inches
3. Apple iPhone 11
4. Voltage AC 1.5 tons
5. LG refrigerator 350 lts double door
I selected the 1st option and they gave me a reference number of the product – B07ZG5W9QN which was the number for the Laptop and asked me to add it into cart. Along with this they asked me to select any product worth 5000 and buy that product and along with this order they will send the gift product also.
I selected Amazon gift card worth 5000 and added it to cart. They asked me to make an online payment through amazon pay and not the regular mode of amazon transaction.
BENEFICIARY NAME: sales and promotions department
IFSC code – DBSS0IN0811
DBS BANK INDIA LTD. MUMBAI
Account Number – 881038422393
Amount transferred – 5000
Later they said that there was some error with gst invoice and that I had to pay an extra 9999.50, which was refundable and then I got to understand it may be a fraud call.
I got a doubt at this stage and called the Amazon customer care who confirmed it’s a fake and spam call.
I lost an amount 5000 because of this fraud
Your imediate action and help will be highly appreciated.
