‘Amazon’ phone scammers target people in Oxford

PHONE scammers posing as Amazon are still trying to trick people in Oxfordshire.

A North Oxford resident said he received a call yesterday morning, and when he picked up an automatic message said: “You have been charged £89 for your Amazon shopping.

“If this is true, please dial 1, to speak to an operator. If you put the phone down, you will be charged £89 and the goods will be delivered.”

He said he hung up as it was ‘clearly a scam’ but he wanted to warn others not to fall for it.

Police put out a warning about an Amazon Prime subscription scam in October, and a similar one involving ‘Royal Mail’.
