"# PHISHING CALL # This caller claimed to be from Amazon - trying to 'verify' a purchase made yesterday at 20:00 for an iPad worth £800 - bought by account "Mr Mike". ( no Surname ) It had so many red flags that I almost confirmed the fictional purchase - just to see what he'd say next. His English was hard to understand not to mention Amazon don't usually call from Mobile numbers. Also - why would Amazon call to warn me - instead of my Bank ? # BEWARE #"
