Automated calls impersonating Amazon are being reported across the country.
The system says the victim’s personal information has been used for an Amazon Prime subscription and they should ‘press one’ to cancel the purchase.
After pressing one, victims are transferred to a person posing as Amazon customer service who try to remotely access their computer to steal details.
Remember: never install any software as a result of a cold call, always question uninvited approaches and call the company directly.
Any unexpected call or email should be treated with caution. Hangup on any automated calls, and say no thanks to anyone else.
