AI Summary
Based on 2 community reports
Calls from this London number are being reported as impersonating Amazon, with callers claiming your phone number has been used to set up fraudulent accounts. A notable red flag is that when pressed, the caller cannot verify basic details such as your phone number or identity — a clear sign something isn't right. They then attempt to extract personal information from you under the guise of investigating the issue. The real Amazon will never cold-call you to ask for personal details in this way. If you receive a call like this, do not share any personal or financial information and hang up. You can report suspected Amazon impersonation scams directly to Action Fraud.
