The Erie woman answered the call, not once but several times. I pressed one to talk with a representative, Trombetta said. I ended up yelling at them three different times. It didn t do a bit of good.
Trombetta said she received the calls on Saturday and Sunday, all recordings claiming that she had a suspicious $729 charge on her Amazon account. The calls came every 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
She wasn t alone. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Verizon and Spectrum phone customers in Erie, Crawford and Mercer counties received the repeated calls over the weekend, according to social media posts.
Many of the customers, like Trombetta, do not even have Amazon accounts. The scammers are hoping you press 1 to talk with a representative and provide personal information, such as a credit card number.
