I received a call today from someone claiming to be from Amazon Affiliates. At first I thought it actually was Amazon. But as I listened, they asked for a couple hundred dollars to set up the website for me.

So I told them a couple hundred would be difficult and they said they would call back. I figured it was a scam. They said an opening was available in the area. Amazon sells all over the world, is earth the area? They also quoted higher percentages of amazon's affiliate payout than is currently listed on their website.

I've never heard of Amazon making websites for people. They have you make the website and then apply to sell for Amazon. If they like the site, you get into the program. Has anyone else run into a company claiming to be Amazon Affiliates trying to sell a website

Thanks for the warning, much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing this regards

Amazon doesn't have the time nor the inclination to drum up phone business....

It's definitely a scam :)

Congrats on recognizing a scam and sending them down the road.
I had a similar call and I told them I didn't need them because I was an Amazon affiliate
I should have reported them.

It's a SCAM! I'd report them to Amazon and the Federal Trade Commission.

Sounds like people are trying to scam you. It's frustrating that there are people that would attempt to make sludge of anothers dreams

Sounds like scam.

Definite scammer! I wouldn't even give them the time of day if they call back, just hang up on them.

Keep a whistle handy and give it a good blowing into the phone. They can't make calls if they are deaf!
