Amazon Scam Call Turns Into Eight-Hour Hold

Hello Josip Kristo, this is Amazon calling to confirm your purchase of $11,475.76. To confirm this purchase, say confirm. To cancel this order say cancel. I heard you say confirm is that correct? Thank you so much for confirming your order of $11,475.76. To confirm your shipping address or to speak to a consultant, please press 1 now. Due to unexpected high volume of calls right now the wait time is 8 hours. Please enjoy some of our selected hold line music. Dora the Explorer

A phone displaying a call with “Josip kristo” is held in front of a laptop showing Google Translate and an alleged Amazon call script. The caller accidentally confirms an $11,475.76 purchase, then learns the wait time is eight hours and is subjected to cheerful children’s hold music from Dora the Explorer. The joke exaggerates scam-call frustration and the absurd consequence of trying to cancel an unaffordable order.
