got the same message from 432641913directly logged on to amazon changed password and activated 2 way authentication...
Got the same text message from 61 481 384 575 yesterday. Has anyone got anything from Amazon or Bank on this?
I accidentally gave them a code and realise they attempt to change my password. Lucky it was a two factor authentication, so without the email they can’t. But just goes to show when you are not in your usual zone you don’t think. I also change all my passwords and deleted all banking details. Put a block on my credit card just to be safe. I learn my lesson.
Same call attempt today. These guys are heartless theives
Got the same text today from 0401948116. Called the 0872007080 number from my work phone and thought it was dodgy so hung up and googled the number. This is a great help thank you!

Received the same text this morning. My heart jumped. I hopped straight onto this site to check by putting in the return phone number and thank you so much for being onto this. I've had too many of these scam attempts over the years. I feel for those who, in all innocence, might fall for this. Thank you for your advice and reassurance.
