🚨 Amazon Issues New Scam Warning – Here’s What Every User Should Know

Online scams are getting harder to spot even for tech-savvy users.
And now, Amazon has issued an urgent warning after detecting a major rise in phishing and account takeover attempts targeting shoppers worldwide.

During peak sale seasons, attackers are sending convincing emails, texts, and fake delivery notifications that look almost identical to official Amazon messages. One click, and your credentials could be gone.

This post breaks down how the scam works and simple steps every user should take to stay safe.

What’s Happening?

Scammers are:

• Sending fake delivery emails

• Pretending to be Amazon support

• Showing fake login pages

• Triggering popup warnings

• Running misleading ads on social media

Their goal is simple:

Make users enter their login credentials before they realize anything is wrong.

Once they have access, they can:

• Change your password

• Access saved payment methods

• Place unauthorized orders

• Try the same password on other websites

How to Spot a Scam Quickly

Look out for these red flags:

❌ Urgent messages saying “Account locked – verify now”
❌ Links that don’t lead to an official Amazon domain
❌ Unexpected login prompts
❌ Requests for passwords, OTPs, or card information
❌ Poor layout, odd wording, or unusual senders

If something feels even slightly off—check directly inside your Amazon app or login via browser manually. Never rely on embedded links.

How to Protect Your Amazon Account

✔ Enable 2FA

Two-Step Verification drastically reduces the chance of an attacker entering your account, even if they have your password.

✔ Avoid Clicking Links in Emails

Instead, open the Amazon app or type the URL manually in the browser.

✔ Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Don’t reuse login credentials—especially across financial accounts.
