Signs Of A Phishing Email From Amazon Every Prime Member Should Know

If you are an Amazon Prime member, and you probably are since there over 220 million members, watch out because you are about to be, or have been, SCAMMED!

Oh no, here we go again!

Amazon is warning all Prime members that if you receive an email saying your subscription rate is about to go up big-time, along with a cancel subscription button in the email, DON'T CLICK IT!

Forbes.com reports clicking on that button "would lead to Prime account credential theft." The scammers could gain access to your account, maybe your payment information, place orders using your info, and even install malware on your phone or computer.

The problem with these emails is that it may be easy for them to appear legitimate since they could have obtained more of your personal information from others sources thus tricking you into thinking it is legit. WRONG!

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Our sister station, KHAK The Hawk, says:

It's always crucial to check the sender’s email address. Legit Amazon emails come from Amazon's domain only.

Avoid urgent emails. Amazon typically notifies you via its app, not email

Don’t click links. Go directly to Amazon.com or use the app to verify account status.

Enable 2FA, use unique strong passwords, and consider a password manager.

You also need to watch out for phone calls stating the same problem that your Prime rate is going way up and you need to do something now. They'll ask for private information on your account and more. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION! HANG UP!
