Retired college instructor looking for part time work

I got a call today from a gentleman from Bedrock media claiming he was representing work at home opportunities for Amazon.com. The first questions he asked me were was I at home and did I have high speed internet. Those made sense. However, the next question was about my credit card debt. He said that Amazon wants people who are financially responsible to work for them. I was OK at first, but when asked me if any of my cards were maxed out, I got uncomfortable, asked him why needed credit information, then told him I would not allow them to run a credit report on me. I also told him I thought he was a scammer and hung up the phone. Has anyone else had this experience and did it turn out to be legit or a scam? Thanks!

That sounds like a scam to me, Carol! If Amazon wanted to hire you, surely Amazon would contact you (not "Bedrock Media") -- also sometimes companies will do a credit check on applicants, but this sounds waaaay too suspicious to be real. It just doesn't seem likely that they would reach out to you first and demand a credit check before they even know if you're qualified for the job or not!
If you are looking for Amazon work from home jobs, use this link: https://www.amazon.jobs/location/virtual-locations to apply, and if anyone reaches out to you for a job you haven't applied for, definitely avoid it!
