Rossen Reports: Amazon issues urgent warning about this new scam
Updated: 2:47 PM EDT Oct 5, 2023
Yeah, this is an urgent warning and it's coming straight from Amazon before its holiday sales start the top scam this year. The suspicious activity scam. The scammer sends you an email or *** text. You've gotten these saying they've suspended your account due to suspicious activity. They want you to verify your account by giving away your log in or password or worse your payment information. Another one on the rise, the fake order confirmation message I've gotten this too. It refers to *** purchase you didn't make and offers to help you cancel the order tips to protect yourself. If you get *** message like this, don't click any links. Amazon wants you to log in to your account through them directly to see if there's been any suspicious purchases or activity. Also, Amazon is never going to ask you for payment or log in information over *** random text call or email. And finally, if you do have *** question, don't use *** number given to you in an email or text, it's probably fake. Use the number on the actual Amazon website or whatever website you're using. That's all for today. Back to you.
