Amazon 'Remote Support Team' job text with the number sent as a second message

A text message arrives claiming to be from "Avery Quinn" with the "Amazon Remote Support Team," offering an easy remote job helping Amazon merchants with quick product-listing updates. It promises $100 to $600 a day for only 1 to 1.5 hours of work, 4 days a week, plus free training and paid time off, and it pressures you to reply by texting the word "JOIN" to a phone number. Right after this pitch, the scammer sends the same phone number again as its own separate second message. No real Amazon job like this exists. The goal is to get you to reply so the scammer can pull you into a conversation and then ask for personal and banking details or an upfront fee.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Sends the callback number as a separate second text bubble (a 'double text') right after the pitch, not just inside the message.

  2. Impersonates Amazon ('Amazon Remote Support Team') rather than a staffing agency or film studio used in other versions.

  3. Frames the fake work as 'quick product listing updates' for Amazon merchants.

  4. Arrives as an iMessage from a Yahoo email address rather than a phone number.

  5. Uses a specific pay hook: $100–$600 daily with a 'Base $5,300 per 30 active days' figure and 15–20 days paid time off.

  6. Tells the recipient to text the word 'JOIN' to opt in, and lists '18 current openings (Age 23+)' to create urgency.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive an unexpected text saying you were ‘selected’ for a flexible remote job with great pay.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The texter claims to represent a known company (for example, a staffing agency or a big retailer) to look legitimate.

  3. 3

    Step 3: They ask you to move the conversation to another number or app and skip any real interview.

  4. 4

    Step 4: They request personal details (ID, bank info) or ask you to pay for training, deposits, or equipment—promising you’ll be reimbursed.

  5. 5

    Step 5: In ‘task’ versions, they have you click, rate, or ‘boost’ products and then pressure you to put in your own money to unlock pay.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Once money or information is sent, the scammer disappears or keeps demanding more.

✓ Do this

  • Look up the company and recruiter on your own—use the official website and phone number, not the one in the text.
  • Insist on a normal hiring process: application, interview, and company email address.
  • If you sent money or info, contact your bank right away, change passwords, and place a fraud alert or credit freeze.

✗ Avoid this

  • Don’t pay any fee for a job or ‘training.’ Real employers do not charge you to start work.
  • Don’t share your Social Security number, driver’s license, or bank details with strangers over text.
  • Don’t click links or download apps the texter recommends.
  • Don’t continue if the pay sounds unreal (hundreds per day for under two hours of work).
