Scams/Other
 
Amazon Text Scam
 
On Tuesday, 06-08-21, a 75-year old Daly City resident reported being the victim of a scam. The victim told the officer that earlier in the day, he received a text from a subject posing as an Amazon employee. The text was sent from a 909 area code, and it read: "You spent 3463.54$ for Haier Dishwasher at AMZN Order id RT60821BQPOE on 06-08-2021.  Call NOw 1-844-389-9793, If NOT YOU."  The victim called the number and said it was a mistake as he had never purchased a dishwasher. The victim said the subject gave him a convoluted story about the mistake with the transaction to his Amazon account—that his “IP address was compromised”, and someone must have accessed his account remotely. The victim said the subject told him if he went to Target and purchased gift cards in the amount of $4,000, his Amazon account could be fixed. The victim said the suspect told him if the Target employees questioned him about the purchase, to tell them it was for a family member’s wedding or graduation. The victim said the Target employees, indeed, questioned him and informed him about scams, but the victim rebuffed their advice and told them the cards were for a wedding, as instructed by the suspect. The victim purchased $4,000 worth of cards and provided the suspect with the numbers on the back of the cards. After he provided the numbers, the victim said the suspect instructed him to purchase more cards. The victim said at that point, he knew he was being scammed and stopped. The victim told the officer he always warned his friends and loved ones of similar scams, and that he personally felt stupid for falling for such a scam.
 
Some of you may be perplexed as to how someone can fall for a scam like this. All I can say is that these scammers are GOOD at what they do, and they know just what to say to make people believe them.
