Scammers are sending phishing emails to Amazon Prime subscribers, claiming that their subscription will renew at a higher price. These emails may include personal information and links to fake login pages to steal sensitive data. Amazon has warned over 200 million Prime members about these scams, urging them to be cautious. The company has also noted an increase in phone impersonation scams and fraudulent social media profiles. Consumers are advised to ignore suspicious messages and report them through Amazon's reporting system.
The fake emails claim your Amazon Prime subscription will automatically renew at an unexpected price, sometimes including personal information to appear legitimate.
Earlier this year, the retailer warned of a striking increase in phone-based impersonation scams in the UK and fraudsters responding on social media using counterfeit profiles.
Last year, Amazon helped shut down more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 phone numbers in an effort to combat scams targeting its users.
Consumers should not click on any links in suspicious messages and can report them to Amazon's designated email reporting service.
