We use Nomorobo, which intercepts telemarketers calls. You only hear one ring. Yesterday the phone kept ringing so I picked it up. The woman on the phone new at least my name & phone number & somehow knew I had an Amazon account. She asked me if I had made a $300+ purchase that morning, which I had not. She asked me if I wanted to talk to a tech support person. I said yes & I was immediately connected to a call center somewhere in India from the guy's heavy Indian accent.
I've watched enough telephone scam vides on YouTube that I knew right away that I wasn't going to be headed for anything pleasant by continuing this conversation so I callded him a scammer & hung up.
Checking my Amazon account, there was no transaction as they had reported. This confirmed that this had been an attempted scam call.
