Amy Oates told NBC Los Angeles that she had inadvertently given away the information on a large stack of gift cards after being contacted by a scam artist.
The man then asked Oates to give him the 16-digit card numbers off of each card, which she did. The scammer then hung up the phone before she could do anything else.
“As they [the scammer] were asking me to do it, it didn’t make any sense to me. And I was concerned about what they were asking me to do, and they kept assuring me, ‘Oh everything will be fine, everything will be back in order,’” Oates told the news station.
“I just made a really really big mistake,” she continued. “I should have trusted my instincts because it did seem weird. I should have hung up the phone.”
“While Jeff Bezos is orbiting the earth and seeking to become the first CEO to go where no CEO has gone before, back here on planet earth, his company is negligently causing its present and former customers to be cheated out of hard-earned money,” said Blumfield.
In recent months, Bezos has transitioned towards the stars, as his spaceflight company Blue Origin has started sending crews of civilians into orbit, including a mission carrying Star Trek actor William Shatner.
