I did press 1 - then you get a second press 1 - I did not do that and
stumbled onto the fact that you can listen into
the barnful of operators scamming other people.
Press 1 again and you get the operator.
I initially almost fell for this scam as I had a Prime account that I
thought that I had cancelled but after pressing 1 for the
Prime account, I asked about my iPhone from Amazon and the pleasant
young lady attempted to help me get the said phone.
Great mirth from my end !

Subject: [AusNOG] Amazon Prime subscription scam
Hi folks,
Just received a call which displayed as 0425 354 906, went straight to an
automated female voice with Australian accet saying that my Amazon Prime
subscription (which I don't have) for $99.99 will be auto renewed and press 1
to speak to an Accounts representative if I do not wish for this to happen.
I don't have an Amazon prime account and didn't press 1, although I was tempted
to, just to hear how far they tried to go to obtain my bank or other personal
details.
FYI in case any of your customer (or your family) may have a similar call.
Enough people must still think these are legit or the scammers wouldn't keep
trying.
I also got another "your package will arrive" SMS scam about an hour ago.
Cheers
Kai
