    No!  The number may have been "spoofed", but it was not "hijacked".
    "hijacked" means control of something has been taken by someone not authorized to do so.
    "spoofed" means the source of a communication (phone number, email address, etc.) has be disguised to appear to have come from somewhere else.
    When a phone number is spoofed, the legitimate user of that number does not lose control of it and can still use it.  The caller spoofing the number cannot make or answer calls from that number, they still have to call with their own number which they hide behind the spoofed number.

    That advice really does not apply to this type of call, but if you want to go to the effort you describe - go ahead, I will not try to stop you.
    The caller does not work for Amazon, they do not have access to Amazon's records or any accounts on Amazon (unless the have one of their own), and there is no purchase that has created "suspicious charges".
    They a phishing for financial and personal information from someone gullible enough to believe the scam.  They know that millions of people use Amazon, so they make tens of thousands of calls, all with the same message, looking for the few gullible Amazon users who they can get to hand over their names and credit card account numbers under the guise of "reversing" the "suspicious charges".
    They expect their victims to give their account information to them over the phone, they are not going to bother trying to break into Amazon's servers to get that information.

    Why yes, it appears he lost the last digit and the site used the +1 prefix to make a 10 digit number and bring us here.  (And all the possibilities for the missing digit are empty threads. Probably just as well.)
