Just got a call from "amazon", thick indian accent and got a scam vibe from them. But I didn't give them any information, so I was really confused about what the motive would have been for the scam.
Them: "Is this <my name>?"
Me: "Who is this?"
Them: "This is so-and-so from amazon, wanting to confirm a purchase you made. It was <unintelligible description of an item with the word liposuction in it> for the amount of <some amount I forgot>. Card ended with <last 2 digits of card number that DID match my card>. Do you recognize this purchase?"
Me: "I have no idea what that is."
Them: "We have blocked the order and you should call your bank and make sure your card is secure."
Me: "Okay, bye."
What was the scam? Is it possible it was legit? I checked my amazon account and nothing was in the order history. But they did match my card's last digits, which I did not volunteer. Very confused. But I did call my bank and block & reissue my card, and changed my amazon password, just to be safe.
