AMAZON WARNING - If you get THIS convincing looking e-mail do NOT click on it
Amazon customers have been put on alert about a scam e-mail
Amazon fans have been put on alert about a new scam designed to steal their login details.
Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud and cyber reporting centre, issued a warning about the Amazon scam.
The con tries to trick Amazon customers into handing over their login details with a convincing looking e-mail that asks them to “verify” their accounts.
The message claims that the recipient has been chosen as part of a “brief check” to ensure customers are getting the “best” possible service.
It then asks them to click on a “verify now” button to allegedly “confirm” their account details.
However, it’s simply part of a scam carried out by cyber criminals in order to steal usernames and passwords.
The official Action Fraud Twitter account tweeted a picture of the scam e-mail along with the message: “This fake email looks convincing doesn't it?
“Don't take the bait! It's designed to steal the username and password for your Amazon account.”
