Amazon Scam!
Dec 17, 2020 17:30:00 #
Dec 15 I received a very authentic looking Amazon email page saying my Prime card was going to expire Dec 15 and they needed to restore my information. I don’t have a Prime card! My wife also received an email and she doesn’t even have an account with Amazon. Beware.

To report a phishing or spoofed email or webpage:
Open a new email and attach the email you suspect is fake.
For suspicious webpages, copy & paste the link into the email body.
If you can't send the email as an attachment, forward it.
Send the email to stop-spoofing@amazon.com
Note: Sending the suspicious email as an attachment is the best way for us to track it.

I recently got an email relating to renewing Amazon Prime, which I don't have. Was careful not to click on any links in the email. Just deleted it.

I have to sigh when I think of all the multimillion dollar inheritance Email offers I've deleted!

I had reheated chicken for lunch. Of the nearly 50 emails today, I didn't see any worth sharing, but there's still time.

E-mails, text messages and even robo calls about expensive purchases being delivered to someone else are popping up also. I send the first one to Amazon's fraud site and then after that hit delete as soon as I see or hear one.
The last one I got (30 minutes ago) was a robo call that said my Amazon account was frozen until I cleared up a problem with my payment method. DELETE!!!

That's terrible I'm never using Amazon again.
It is not Amazon, it is a phony phishing message. I have gotten them claiming to be from my credit and debit card, Amazon, Sam's Club, Costco, Walmart and others.
My e-mail client app is set to show the full senders address etc and many of them are from really funky sounding addresses in foreign countries.

This is not an Amazon scam, it is a phising scam.
Absolutely, targeting a victim to be.

I had the same thing happen, but it was supposedly from eBay asking me to "confirm" my credit card and bank account information, also name and address and similar info. I deleted it without replying, then next day I received an email thanking me for my reply!
