I received a call from a so called Amazon Sales Executive who told me that I have won an apple I phone and it is a gift to me from Amazon India, but had to purchase Amazon Gift Box worth rupees 5000/- to claim the gift. Since the person knew every details of my Amazon account, even the products I had last bought, hence I believed it's Amazon. I was asked to make a payment to a Bank Account ( a certain Gurgaon branch) bearing the name of Amazon India of Rs 5000/-. Next I was provided with a WhatsApp message saying my order has been confirmed (screenshot attached to this mail). Within minutes I received another call from a person named Vivek Srivastava claiming to be an Amazon Dispatch Officer. Who told me to make the full payment for the I phone and I would be given a refund immediately. When I refused, he told me that the order shall be cancelled but it would take few working days for Amazon India to refund my money worth 5000/-. Till date I have received no update from Amazon.
Need your help.
1) Is there any executive named Vivek Srivastava working in Amazon? Amazon India must clarify whether it had any stake in the entire proceedings.
2) If Yes, I want my money back. If No, even then Amazon India is liable as my private account details (Name, address, phone number, and also my details of my orders) has reached the frauds hence proving our Amazon accounts are really not secured.
