A woman on Ballard Drive told police she had received a package from Amazon that she had ordered and she wanted to send it back for a refund. She then looked up a number on Google for Amazon to try and get a refund and a label to send it back. When she called the number, she spoke with a man calling himself "Charecia Walker," who had a foreign accent and he started asking her strange questions and she told him "all I want is a label." She talked with him the day before from about 1-4 p.m. and he had her open up a Zelle account and then asked her to open up several apps on her phone. He was telling her what was going on on the phone, so he had hacked into her phone as well. He then tried to transfer money out of her bank account (Bank of America) with two transactions through Zelle; $100 and $198. She asked him why she had to go through all this when she was just trying to get a refund. He claimed it was a mistake and she would be getting the money back and that they would send the refund money through her bank account. She had also gave him the last four digits of her SSN. She spoke to her bank after talking with him and they told her it was a scam and they cancelled the transactions, so she didn't lose any money. When she checked her phone later, the phone number he used was gone and was deleted from her phone.
