This is regarding a fake call I received this morning saying my Amazon prime account and my number received a gift on account of the contest that was conducted during the amazon sale.
I received the call from the this number from a person named Rahul Singh from sales and promotions department – 91-8159014282
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 3 plus 32 GB
4. Voltage AC 1.5 tons
5. LG refrigerator 350 lts double door
I selected the 4th option and they gave me a reference number of the product – B07G9NKZ9L which was the number for the AC and asked me to add it into cart. Along with this they asked me to select any product work not less than 4999 and buy that product and along with this order they will send the gift product also.
I selected Tamron macro lens worth 9290 and added it to cart. They asked me to make an online payment using my net banking and not the regular mode of amazon transaction.
The sent an amount of Rs. 9290 through IMPS transfer to the below account.
BENEFICIARY NAME: AMAZON IN
IFSC code – PYTM0123456
Gowtham Budha Nagar, Noida Branch, Uttar Pradesh.
Account Number – 917583004887
Amount transferred – 9290
Later they came up saying to transfer a GST amount of 11,000 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 9290 because of this fraud.
Your imediate action and help will be highly appreciated.
