On the fourth one I’ll admit I lost my temper somewhat, and ended up telling her that if I ever received another call from her, I’d send one of my coworkers from our Kerala offices to find her and remove her ovaries with a spoon.

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