rohaan: Thanks, and you are right. This exact scam is going on a bunch…of course I was sure, and did tell her to check her accounts, but she was worried there was a “time gap” problem. Thank you for your input- I was able to ease her anxiety because of you and polite other members. Heck, even Mikey chomped the bit on this one and was ..nice. ..sort of…
I'm usually nice to all but one or two here, and I've been trying to be civil with them.. It must be the new street drugs I found...
rohaan: So, my friend just called and she’d received a call (international number) saying Amazon had just removed $1100.00 from her bank account, which is on a debit card. She’s worried— I told her it’s likely a scam. She checked her account, doesn’t show as such, but she’s still concerned. Is this part of the on- going scams we’re all aware of? Anyone?
I really don’t think she has anything to worry about, but I wish to comfort her…thanx
No, it isn't scam, first, the bank accounts are well secured not easy to hack, second she didn't get any notification

Put the SCAM email in the SPAM folder. That will make it a LITTLE bit harder for them to hit you again, but, there will be MANY others. Also, do not respond to them in ANY way. Get spam get scam, put in spam folder. The "law" will protect you less and less, as things become more out of control.
