Amazon Warns of Phishing Scam
Beware of Suspicious Text Messages
Amazon has issued a warning about a phishing scam involving text messages that claim to be from the company. The messages contain a link that, if clicked, will take the user to a fake Amazon website that will attempt to steal their personal information.
The text messages typically say something like, "Your Amazon account has been temporarily suspended. Click the link to verify your account." The link in the message will take the user to a website that looks like the Amazon website, but it is actually a fake website designed to steal personal information.
Amazon says that it will never send you a text message with a link to a website. If you receive a text message that claims to be from Amazon and contains a link, do not click on the link. Instead, go to the Amazon website directly and log in to your account. If you are unable to log in to your account, you can contact Amazon customer service for help.
Here are some tips to help you avoid phishing scams:
- Never click on links in text messages or emails that you do not recognize.
- Always go to the website directly by typing the address into your web browser.
- Look for the lock icon in the address bar of your web browser. This indicates that the website is secure.
- Never enter your personal information on a website that you do not trust.
