Are Calls From 206-922-0880 Legitimate?

The answer depends on who’s actually calling you.

Yes, 206-922-0880 is Amazon’s customer service number. But no, it’s not legitimate when someone demands personal information or payment over the phone.

According to CallCenter, over 100 consumers have reported scam calls from this number. One victim wrote:

“The caller spoke with a heavy accent, and I could not understand him. He said someone had hacked my Amazon account and he would help me straighten it out. He told me to go to Google Pay and open the app. That’s when I hung up.”

Amazon never called these consumers. Scammers spoofed the real number to make it look legitimate.

Five Steps to Stop Calls From 206-922-0880

You can end these unwanted calls by taking action now.

1. Block the Number on Your Phone

iPhone users should open the call log and tap the “i” icon. Scroll down and tap “Block this Caller.”

Android users should open the phone app and go to “Recent.” Find the number, tap it, and select “Block.”

2. Register With the Do Not Call List

Visit donotcall.gov to add your number. The registry won’t stop all calls but reduces telemarketing significantly.

3. Install a Call-Blocking App

How to Spot Fake Debt Collector Calls

Scammers have refined their tactics, but they still make mistakes. Watch for these warning signs:

They provide vague information about their identity or company name
They become angry or threatening when you ask questions
They request personal information to “confirm” your identity
They refuse when you offer to send a debt validation letter
They demand payment through gift cards or wire transfers
They don’t know your rights under CFPB debt collection rules
They ask for credit card details while you’re on the phone
They pressure you to pay immediately or threaten legal action

Real debt collectors must verify the debt in writing. They must stop calling once you request written communication.

Verify the Call With Amazon Directly

Hang up and contact Amazon yourself through official channels. Use the chat feature on Amazon’s website or call the customer service number.

Visit Amazon’s Contact Us page to reach the right department. Real Amazon representatives can email you using the address on file.

Scammers can’t do that because they don’t have access to your account.

How to Respond to Legitimate Debt Collectors

You may owe a real debt to Amazon’s credit card issuer. Perhaps you use Amazon’s equal monthly pay and missed payments.

Real collectors typically won’t call from Amazon’s customer service number. But if you receive a legitimate collection call, protect yourself with these steps:

Ask them to identify themselves and their company before continuing
Don’t volunteer information about yourself or the debt
Stay calm and take detailed notes during the conversation
Assert your rights if they violate FDCPA or CFPB rules
Request all future communication in writing via email
Tell them you’ll send a debt validation letter before discussing payment

A debt validation letter requires collectors to verify the debt is yours. They must prove the amount is correct before calling again.

Our partner Solo can help you send a proper validation letter and respond to collection attempts.

How to Stop Calls From Real Debt Collectors

You have options even when the debt is legitimate.

Send a Debt Validation Letter First

Demand written proof that the debt belongs to you. Collectors must verify the amount and stop calling until they provide documentation.

You have 30 days from first contact to request validation. Use that time wisely.

Pay the Debt in Full

Paying quickly protects your credit score from further damage. If you have funds available, full payment stops all collection activity immediately.

Negotiate New Payment Terms

Ask the collector to reduce monthly payments or waive late fees. Many creditors accept modified payment plans to avoid costly legal action.

Credit counselors can negotiate on your behalf with better results.

Settle for Less Than You Owe

Debt settlement means paying a lump sum for less than the full balance. Creditors often accept 40-60% of the original debt.

You can negotiate directly or get professional help. Our partner Solo lets you send and receive settlement offers digitally without phone calls.

Your Rights Under Federal Law

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act protects you from abusive tactics. Collectors cannot:

Call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. in your time zone
Contact you at work if you tell them it’s not allowed
Harass you with repeated calls or profane language
Threaten violence or criminal prosecution
Lie about the debt amount or their authority
Discuss your debt with family, friends, or employers

If collectors violate these rules, file complaints with the CFPB and your state attorney general. You may also have grounds to sue for damages.

Stop All Communication Legally

You can send a cease-and-desist letter requiring collectors to stop all contact. They must honor your request except to confirm they received it.

After that, they can only contact you to notify you of specific legal action.

What to Do After Identifying a Scam Call

Report scam calls immediately to prevent others from becoming victims.

File reports with the FTC, your state consumer protection office, and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Provide the phone number, date, time, and details of the conversation.

Check your credit reports for unauthorized accounts or inquiries. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com for free reports from all three bureaus.

Place a fraud alert on your credit files if you shared personal information. Consider a credit freeze for maximum protection.

Monitor your bank and credit card statements for suspicious transactions. Report unauthorized charges to your financial institution immediately.
