What's this about?
Wife gets a phone call saying they are from Amazon, about the "Information MrDezB sent through"
give her an 0800 number to call back and a 8 digit ref no.
Out of curiosity I call it back this morning and "The number you have dialled is not recognised.."

What's the point of that?

your wife can't write a number down as it was dictated over the phone?

they were verifying a list of names and numbers for some purpose - did they ask for any personal details?

Only confirmed my name. She's quite a clever thing for a girl, you know.

Definitely a scam because they used your forum name not your real name, duh! 😉
