>At about 12:30 p.m., my phone buzzed. The caller ID said it was Amazon. I answered.
This is a terrible story and I feel for the person affected.
The lesson here is that there's no reason at al to answer any inbound phone call if it's not a personal contact.
There are only two reasons someone you don't know may be calling you:
- to sell you something
- to scam you
If it appears important like your bank or a government agency then call them back and do not answer. There is no upside and a potentially disastrous downside for trusting an inbound request of any kind.
