Scammers Pose as Amazon Support to Steal Your Account
Scammers are sending fake Amazon product recall emails that claim something from a recent order has a safety defect, hoping vague language will make more people think the message could be real.
The goal is to push recipients to a fake Amazon login page where their username and password can be stolen, turning a simple phishing email into a full account takeover risk.
This tactic works especially well because Amazon has such a huge customer base and many people are used to getting real order notifications, especially after buying something recently.
How to Protect Yourself
- Ignore links in recall messages.
- Check your Amazon Message Centre directly through the app or the official site.
- Change your password immediately if you already clicked a suspicious link.
- Turn on two-step verification for extra protection.
