The charge was also NOT on my account
BEWARE of all phone calls, especially during the Holiday season! DO NOT give them any Information!:

That's not new. It's just a phone version of those email saying the same thing. "If you didn't make this purchase, click here ..." and then you are directed to a link that looks like an Amazon login and is designed to steal your id / password when you type it in.
In the phone version, they will ask you to confirm your credit card so that they can refund the purchase price. There are still dummies out there giving this information over the phone to "Dave" who sounds like Anup Gupta from India.
