Amazon issues Christmas scam email warning that customers shouldn't ignore
13.12.2022 - 19:01 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Amazon has issued a stark warning to all of its customers to be aware of cyber thieves during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.
As Christmas draws closer, many of us will be making some last-minute online shopping orders rather than actually visiting the shops on the high street. Shopping online, as handy as it is, comes with many risks of your personal information being stolen.
So Amazon, one of the biggest online stores there is, has warned shoppers to be on the lookout for anything suspicious while browsing online - and has highlighted some key signs of a potential scam.
The Express reports that there are a number of tactics currently being used by hackers in a bid to steal personal data including user names, passwords and even bank details.
Common scams include emails that may look as though they're from Amazon, with shoppers receiving a message that they need to confirm an order before it's shipped.
Then, scammers attempt to get customers to fill in their personal details so they can be "paid" or even install harmful software on to their device.
Amazon says that if you receive a message you weren't expecting, you should log in to your account and verify it. Only legitimate purchases will appear in the order history - and Customer Service is available 24/7 to assist.
Aside from fake orders, fraudsters have also created fake tech support websites for sites like Amazon and its devices.
Customers who land on these pages are then lured into contacting the scammer and often fall victim to their schemes, which include stealing personal data and installing malware onto devices.
If you need help with anything on your Amazon account, there's a section on the website that should have the answer to any questions you
The website popstar.one is an aggregator of news from open sources. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You can send a complaint on the news if you find it unreliable.
