JACKSON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is warning about a new scam circulating through the area involving Amazon.com.
According to a Facebook post, the sheriff’s office has received multiple reports of a scam where the caller pretends to be an Amazon representative, claims the victim’s account has been compromised, and wants to verify a purchase.
