Same Paul, calling from 816-367-6959

Spam voicemail about Alexa.

This has replaced the Google ad scam

Wow... Paul still has a few open spots for his Alexa marketing scam still in December 2019. Says to call 888-841-8164 if interested.  Umm... NO THANKS!    Can't block the incoming number because it is a spoofed local number.    Hopefully the FCC shuts down this annoying scam operation.

Same message from 'Paul' trying to sale Alexa ads for my business. The only business I have is monkey business why I want to advertise in Alexa/Amazon! What a scam!

Recording: "Hi, this is Paul with ALEXA. Sorry to bother you again, but your company is not showing up on our ALEXA data  base.  We'd like to get you signed up so that when someone says, 'Hey, Alexa, tell me what companies in my area do ---' your company will show up."

Now calling from 5623061680.  Reported to UKNOWWHO.

I am Paul so sorry to be bothering you again, I already left a couple of messages last week for those open spots in the Amazon Alexa network for your business. Call me back at 888-841-8164 before the last two spots fill up and you will have to pay full price. Oh yeah, and it is free to see if you qualify. Caller ID is neighboring spoofed 270-225-1649

Scammer's phone number shows as 610-885-0214.  Left a message to call 888-841-8164.
Just blocked it.

Received a scam call exactly like the one Beryl reported. Don't fll for it.

Amazon Alexa ad telemarketer - This is the toll-free call-back number

Same, “Paul” from a fake local number left a voice mail...

The message was similar to what others have reported here, trying to get me to sign up for an Amazon Alexa Network listing.  Since the call originated from a local number (802-449-0017) and the caller implied that he had spoken with me before, I almost called back, thinking he had legitimately mis-dialed the number of one of his contacts.  I decided to first do a few reverse number look-ups, which of course all came back "No Record Found".  Then I put the phone number in a regular search box to see if it was linked to any business, and discovered the youmail.com directory.  They identify it as a scam, and have a few recordings of typical messages.

Voicemail stated: “Hey this is Paul I'm so sorry to bother you again I have a couple messages last week for those open spots in the Amazon Alexa network remember for example when someone says hey Alexa I need a plumber mechanic shop or any type of service to your company is not showing up so I wanted to follow up with more time with you before the last few spots fill up and you have to pay in full price so give me a call here at 888-841-8164 and he still have a need we can go over the details and get everything set up for your business it is free to see if you qualify so again you can reach me here at 888-841-8164 and I _⁠_⁠_ speak to you soon thanks…”

Forgot to add that they called from 661-451-6852

You know this is a scam, when they call Amazon employees to tell them that our "company is not showing up" on the "Amazon Alexa Network."

The voicemail does sound convincingly like a guy leaving a message, but it's verbatim to what others have been posting here.

December 18th...  I should be able to get in over 30,000 calls back to them by the end of the year.  I wonder if they figured on that.  The alternative is, they an shut down, or complain to the FCC, and FTC, thus exposing themselves.  About to really suck to be a US based scammer.

Acually, Paul is a robocaller not a real person so there is no need to feel sorry for him. On top of that "Amazon Alexa Network" is not a real business. Amazon organizes the Alexa listings under the name of "Alexa for Business" which is under "Amazon for Business" and the larger umbrella of "Amazon Web Services." This is 100% a scam and has nothing to do with the actual Amazon company.

Bogus call using 630.320.0407 about putting your business in some kind of Alexa network.

After taking a week off for the holidays, Paul is back, this time calling from 802-449-0018, the next number in sequence from 802-449-0017, the last one he used.  At this rate, he should not run out of spoofed numbers any time soon.  I might try blocking the next dozen or so sequential numbers to see what happens.
