Thanks to @BeaHindebars for the Amazon numbers.
A disgusting new tactic in the world of Amazon scammers has emerged. What used to be an Amazon Prime TV activation scam has now morphed into..... a tech support scam. Yes. Old faithful reappears, once again. Only now, the scammers are attempting to get unsuspecting victims to look up their actual IP addresses bu having them go onto Google search and typing in "My IP" I see 2 reasons for this. One. To rule out Scambaiters and Two, to scare victims should they not wish to cooperate with the scams.
Regardless of what the logic could be for this sudden shift, I didn't play along. I kept telling the scammer numerous times that I was calling about my Prime TV but he was hell bent on getting me to read out my IP address. I stalled hard until he finally gave up. The scammer also got rid of his Text Now number because I wouldn't stop calling him.
The 3rd Iron Match begins now!
