I received a text stating I had an Amazon order for several hundred dollars and to call the number 833-251-7995 to cancel the order. The text was from 1-561-723-3601. I blocked the number.
I received it today as well
Same number texted me a bogus order message.
Thanks so much, got the text today.
The same number came up on my phone stating I had an Amazon order that was going to be debited for $834.04. A quick check of my Amazon account showed I had no outstanding orders. Definitely phishing.... Don't call the number
