The first person on the line was from India or Pakistan. He told me someone was using my name and SS# in San Antonio, Texas. He also said he is an Amazon employee working with the Office of Inspector General. At this point, I realized this was some type of scam, but since I was sitting at home as my carpets were being cleaned, I played d along for a while. After telling me about the attempts to purchase $1,200.00 worth of items in the fake accounts and advising me never to give out my name or any identifying information, I was transferred to the Office of Inspector General.
The next guy, whose accent was not as thick, was not someone who was born and raised in the U.S. He also told me about the bank accounts set up in my name using my SS#. He finally asked me how many bank accounts I had. My answer was that I have 10 bank accounts in different states. I told him I have an account with F*ck You Nat'l Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, and before I could tell him that my second bank account was with You Dumb Shit State Bank in Savannah, GA, he hung up on me. I'm not sure when he discovered that I knew this was a scam, but I think it may have been after I told him about my bank account in Alabama.
