Amazon scams are running rampant these days. Below are some ways you can stay safe and avoid Amazon imposter scams.
-Do not respond to any incoming robocalls, texts, or emails claiming to be from Amazon or another trusted brand. And don’t follow instructions to press 1 or call another number.
-Be suspicious of robocalls or other communications with bad grammar or stilted language (although AI is making it easier for imposters to appear legitimate).
-If you have concerns about your Amazon account, hang up on the robocall or ignore the message and log in to your Amazon and relevant credit card account to check for suspicious charges.
-Consider using a call blocker.
-Don’t assume a text or call is legitimate because it comes from a familiar phone number or area code. Spammers use caller ID spoofing to make it appear the text is from a trusted or local source.
-Never click on links in suspicious texts or emails. They could install malware on your device or take you to a site that does the same.
