Amazon, possible scam.

So Amazon has been trying to call all afternoon to verify a $999 phone purchase but for some reason I kept getting cut off. Finally I just spoke to someone who seemed concerned that my account had been hacked. I decided to have a little fun by pretending to have multiple accounts and needing to know which account it was charged to, thinking no way will they come up with a name. Boy was I wrong, the woman on the phone managed to come up with my MIL's name. Problem, she passed away a decade ago and never had a cell phone nor an Amazon account.

I got a call from a fake IRS scam on the phone once, they claim they're from the IRS and then threaten they'll take away the house if I don't pay up. It was clearly a scam because they don't do that lol. So you can tell it's done by people clearly not from the States.

@SatanBurger I can't remember where I ran across this, but someone decided to prank them by giving his address as 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue and a BS story about how this must have had something to do with the income he didn't report from a prostitution ring.. I almost think this was some radio personality because I can still remember the odd pronunciation he used of "Washington". Apparently he kept them going for several minutes before they realized they were being played.
