Amazon has alerted its 220 million Prime customers to the risk of impersonation scams targeting their accounts. The company has seen a rise in reports of fake emails claiming that subscription renewal prices are changing, with scammers attempting to trick victims into revealing sensitive information.
According to Amazon, scammers may include personal details from other sources in the emails and offer a “cancel subscription” button leading to a fake login page. To protect themselves, customers should:
– Verify purchases on Amazon’s website and app
– Be cautious of urgent messages or requests for gift card purchases
– Only use official Amazon channels
Amazon is investing in protecting consumers and educating them on how to avoid scams. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also encourages consumers to report potential scams to help prevent future losses and aid in investigations.
