Fake order calls

"Claimed to be from Currys and knew my name. Said he was calling about the delivery of a vacuum cleaner (which I had not ordered). Asked for personal info to confirm my identity. I did not give that information, and said I wanted to check with my partner first. Caller said he would call back, which he did not do."

"SAID THEY WERE FROM AMAZON AND THAT SONEONE HAD PLACED AN ORDER FOR AN IPHONE ON MY ACCOUNT. i WAS LOGGED IN AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS NO ORDER OR ANYTHING IN MY BASKET.
 I SAID THIS TO THEM AND THEY SAID I WAS WRONG!
 STILL NOTHING IN MY BASKET AND IVE JUST MADE AN ORDER!"

"Claimed to be from Amazon security centre. Indian accent. Said that last night someone tried to order an iPhone 16 from my Amazon account and other items asked me if I wanted to cancel. I checked my Amazon account and no such orders had been placed. Caller hung up the phone."

"Call from a person with a strong foreign accent who said they were from Amazon about a £699 fraudulent order for an iPhone 17. They mentioned they would send me a ‘cancellation code’ to cancel the order. He finally agreed to cancel it after I said I couldn't give him the code on my phone without disconnecting the call. (Too old to get how to do that!!) The text did come from the same number as the 'Driver Chat' messages I get when I have a delivery - so it was a bit strange."

"Said they were Amazon, saying I'd just bought something costly. When I questioned him he got very rude and nasty."

"It was a scam about TV subscriptions. They took my money on the phone but didn't send what I paid for."

"Offered a fake deal , took payment over the phone (£60) to deliver a loaded Amazon Firestick and blocked me without delivering anything"

"Fake delivery notification, sent a fake dominos delivery through SMS"

"Said they were calling from Amazon about an iPhone order I placed. I said I didn't have an Amazon account and they asked if I wanted to cancel the order. I then said that I didn't make the order, so they would need their fraud team to check it, not me, and then they ended the call."

"Offered a fake deal or upgrade"

"They started by telling me about an Amazon payment for £150 - which wasn't true"

"Claimed to be from Amazon Said problem with my order Asked for Account details"

"Bot message claiming to be royal mail, apparent problem with delivery... sounds off"

"Someone rang with a strong foreign accent saying they were from Amazon about a dodgy order for an IPhone 17. They said they'd send me a 'cancellation code' to cancel it. I put the phone down."

"Called me wanting to check if I’d made an Amazon order for an iPhone. When I challenged him, he said “don’t talk too much” and then hung up the call!!!!"

"Claimed to be from Amazon. Asked if I had ordered an iPhone and would said me a cancellation code"

"Called to tell me that someone ordered an iPhone 15 on my Amazon account and they were in California while I’m in the UK. When I said I don’t have an Amazon account (which I don't), he got very aggressive on the phone."

"Said they were from Amazon Customer Services"

"Dude woke me up with a call about an Amazon purchase or something. Jokes on him, I don't use Amazon. I hung up. Mornings are for coffee and thinking. Definitely a scam."

"This number keeps calling saying there is outstanding work on a council property. There is no such work. They are trying to sell repairs."

"Text appearing to be from DPD about failed delivery. I followed link, they seemed to have my address correctly, but then they asked for a small redelivery fee (69 pence) which strongly suggests a rather clever scam to get my card details"

"fake phone contracts"
