Got this same call @10:45 this morning. I hung up. Did call to verify with the credit card company to make sure-no funny transactions.

At least once a week I get emails that my Prime account is expiring as of a certain date, and that the card on my account is an expired card. If I look at the address these are sent to, it’s never mine.

In general, I rarely hear about cheating on amazon because I have a lot of orders from there. So, not to run into any problems, like fraud or that my goods to me just do not come. I always try to read more about the seller and the genuine reviews, which real customers left. The last item I ordered from Amazon was the solar flag pole lights. And before I called it, I absolutely checked all the details and features. Only after that did I order it. Now I am thrilled that my house is different from all others with this flag. Especially at night, it looks unreal.

I got 4 phone calls today! I am one of those that does not order from Amazon so I knew it wasn’t real but frustrating they called from 4 different numbers in a row. I was waiting for a plumber to call so I needed to keep my phone.

I get those emails regularly from PayPal to my email not set up with PayPal and I usually use venmo now so those too are obliviously not real. All frustratingly wasting time.
