I would not have given any details and it did seem genuine until it cut out so I called Amazon and they said Amazon doesn't ask it's agents to call to ask about purchases so I'm guessing if I had said no they would have gone on to ask more personal questions. Number comes up as a WiFi call the same as Amazon and also it was an Indian sounding lady the same as Amazon so watch out guys it's so hard to tell, I always call the company in question rather than give any personal details as you never know."
