Many Amazon customers have shared their stories on social media in an attempt to warn off other unsuspecting customers so they don't fall victim to the potential scam.
Amazon customers are being warned about a new scam text message designed to steal personal details, according to Which?
Consumer rights experts at Which? are urging people to be vigilant when it comes to scam text messages as they are designed to steal your personal data. According to Which?, one of the texts reads: "Amazon: We detected a login into your account from a new device on 27/09/2022 at 15:10:08 UTC. If this wasn’t you, you can terminate that session via: [https://checkup-amazon.com]."
When experts entered their details, they were taken to another "convincing" fraudulent webpage asking for a name, date of birth, mobile number, home address and email address. This is where your personal data will be stolen. An Amazon spokesperson told Which?: "These messages were not sent by Amazon. Scammers that attempt to impersonate Amazon put our customers and our brand at risk. Although these scams take place outside our store, we will continue to invest in protecting customers and educating the public on scam avoidance.
