Amazon Prime Day! Spam!!!

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Along with that comes an increase in scam calls telling you there's been fraudulent activity on your Amazon account.

I've already had literally a dozen of them. 5 with clear Eastern Indian accents. That's always a clear giveaway that it's a scam because no legit company will ever use an Indian call center LMAO. 1 accent-less dude. I actually enjoy answering even when I know it's going to be spam, because I love torturing these pieces of shit and it gives me enjoyment to make them hate their lives.

Amazon will NEVER call you. Don't fall for these genuinely evil subhumans. Most people intuitively know it's bullshit, but maybe warn your older parents etc about this sort of thing.

Have a great day yall!

One time this old lady thought she was talking to the IRS about her back taxes and how they needed to collect payment immediately.

They had her in a 7-11 buying itunes gift cards, scratching them off and reading the numbers into the phone.


I asked her, in her 80 years of life, has the IRS ever taken payment in gift cards?

She said no, but she also said there are many things in the modern world she doesn't understand.


Felt a little bad for her but holy hell. At what point when you got this scammer on the phone and your desperately scratching off gift cards do you not pull back, hang up and call someone with a brain.

I have yet to receive a phone call with this spam about my Amazon account, but
it seems they are trying this scam via email, and of course it ends up in my spam/junk
folder, since it has been months since I have even looked at Amazon.
