It's less likely that they want you to say yes than gain access to your Amazon account, change the password and order some gift cards for themselves. This is a new scam and can be very convincing as they will access your account. This happens once you grant them the ability to view your screen, which is done covertly, they will repeat your latest purchases to you.

It can be very convincing. More scams come from using the card information from your Amazon linked credit card.
