Amazon’s big warning to 220m Prime members as scam sweeps US: Your account is under attack if you see this message
Amazon Prime customers have been warned about phishers sending fake Amazon correspondence. Scammers, in these Prime membership scams, are impersonating Amazon to target users and steal personal information such as security numbers, bank information or Amazon account details.
In an email sent earlier this month, Amazon said there has been an increase in reports about fake emails, and over two-thirds o scams claimed to be related to order or account issues. “Scammers who attempt to impersonate Amazon put consumers at risk,” Dharmesh Mehta, Amazon’s vice president of Selling Partner Services, said in the notice.
