    WOW that is crazy about the Amazon thing. Every time I have needed to contact them I had to go through my account and use the chat feature. Glad you contacted your bank right away and got that all resolved. Yes, so many scammers these days. Love the idea of repurposing the glue stick case. Have a great night! Love to you and Sammy from Southern California!

    Hey Vivian, I just wanted to let you know that I've gotten a scam call recently, too. They uptick around the holidays. The person who called me pretended to be a Police Officer from a neighboring county, telling me I missed a court date that I never received a letter for. They tried to get me to pay them Bail over Paypal, so that they didn't have to come to my house and arrest me. So aggressive. They even had a friend who took the phone briefly and pretended to be another Officer. Absolute garbage, honestly. Sorry that they managed to take anything from you! Glad you were able to get it back, screw them!

    A woman in the next town was "romance scammed". She lost thousands of dollars. My friend lost $7000 because someone called her and said her son's friend got hurt and was arrested and needed bail money. My cousin's daughter got romance scanned and bought the "money cards" at the gas station, and somehow linked her father's bank account. They drained his disability money (his only income) for months. He sold his old motorcycle, and pawned everything he had. His daughter still believes she's met the man of her dreams. She even bought herself a wedding dress. I had people dressed as policemen pound on my door and say they needed to search for someone who said was hurt. Yes, these guys are pretty slick.

Take care from your friend in your old neck of the woods in Indiana.

    Yep....I get so annoyed with these people with this distinct accent, you pick it up in there writing as well. I recently got an e mail from someone wanting to help me get more views and subscribers for my channel. I did not even reply to the email. I get so many of these calls the moment they start talking I put the phone down. Thankfully I don't trust people that easily.

    I have Prime but because I am on Soc. Security with limited income I only pay $7.99 monthly. I get free shipping and all the videos free just like a regular Prime membership. I watch on my TV and also have the App on my cell phone so I can watch videos or order anytime I want. Not sure why you were paying that amount but not using it on your phone also. Happy your bank is refunding the money.

    Unbelievable Vivian. Hi Sammy. Did you call the wrong number because if it was Amazon, that should have been the right number and they shouldn’t be asking for money like that. It sounded like a scam because they kept asking for you to “just push pay!”. It doesn’t make sense. Next time, I hope there isn’t a next time, just hang up on them. He did deserve to get yelled at though. Bless your heart Vivian. How do you pay when you are trying to cancel it? You made me laughed even more when he said his name was Paul and you said I thought you said your name was Christoper? Then he said “Oh yes.” LOL!! LOL!! Thankfully you are getting your money back. “Go you!” I wish I could’ve heard what you said about going too far before you changed it. Happy I got to see Sammy in the background around the start of the video. He looked very excited. ❤❤ Now you and Sammy please go and relax and have a great evening. See you again soon.
