Scary Scam Re Amazon - Page 2

@Twins Mom - I am so sorry you went through this. I fell for a scam last November - not this one but a different one - and I know how upsetting it is. Please continue to check all your credit card accounts going forward or get new cards.

We were setting up tv for streaming instead of cable. A message came up on tv that we were only able to use Amazon on one device and call to arrange more. We did and apparently fell into scam. They even had credit card digits on the account. Is everything out there for the taking?! We thought we were so careful but ..... I don't have any advice because it was a message on our tv..

With the advancements in AI? Not much technology can't do, and some of it ain't the good kind of stuff.

Interesting you should mention Samsung tv. DD just got new one and spent hours trying to get it goung. Tried tech help but got no where. She was going to return but a friend spent another hour on phone with tech help and success! It should not be that hard !!

It seems like every day we hear about a new scam. The scammers are brilliant and 10 steps ahead of everyone else. Now that this has been made public, they'll move on to something else.

@Twins Mom I've bought two new TVs since I got the Samsung but neither was another Samsung. You couldn't give me one.
