Amazon is preparing for another Prime Day sale event, offering discounts on various products starting tomorrow, July 8. Customers are advised to be cautious as there has been a surge in Prime scams targeting unsuspecting users. The company has issued warnings about fake emails regarding Prime subscriptions, urging users to be vigilant.
Be cautious of emails claiming Prime accounts need renewal with increased fees, as these are likely scams aiming to steal personal information. Amazon advises against clicking on any links in suspicious messages to prevent unauthorized access to login credentials and banking details.
To verify any changes to their Prime accounts, users should directly visit Amazon’s official website or app. It is recommended to monitor credit/debit card statements for unusual charges if any suspicious links have been clicked. Accessing Amazon through its mobile app or official website is the safest way to ensure secure transactions.
Amazon also encourages users to check messages through their accounts to verify the authenticity of emails. Enabling two-step verification for Amazon accounts adds an extra layer of security, ensuring account protection against unauthorized access.
By practicing caution and following these tips, Amazon customers can safeguard themselves from falling victim to online scams during the Prime Day sale event.
