SCAM ALERT: Alabama Amazon users beware of these Two ongoing scams

Alabama – At the moment, Alabama takes the top spot as the state most infatuated with Amazon, with an obsession rating of 7/10 amongst 36.5% of its shoppers, says a report by Bama Buzz.

Recently, Amazon has disclosed details to its Alabama customer base about two ongoing scams that they should be cognizant of. Have you gotten or had the chance to read this email yet?

The email from Amazon provided this description for the first of these scams currently in place, which users need to keep an eye on:

Prime Membership Scams: These are unexpected calls/texts/emails that refer to a costly membership fee or an issue with your membership and ask you to confirm or cancel the charge. These scammers try to convince you to provide payment or bank account information in order to reinstate a membership.

Amazon will never ask you to provide payment information for products or services over the phone. Visit the Message Center on Amazon.com or on our app to review authentic emails from Amazon. To verify your Prime Membership status or make payments, log into your Amazon account, and go to Your Account.

There is a second scam going on as well. The email continued by stating:

Account Suspension/ Deletion Scams: Scammers send texts, emails and phone calls stating that your account will be suspended or deleted and prompt you to click on a fraudulent link or verbally provide information to “verify your account.” Customers who land on these pages or receive these phone calls are then lured to provide account information such as payment information or account login credentials.

Amazon will never ask you to disclose your password or verify sensitive personal information over the phone or on any website other than Amazon.com. Please do not click on any links or provide your information to anyone over the phone without authenticating the email or phone call. If you have questions about the status of your account, go directly to Amazon.com or on our app to view your account details, including the Message Center which displays a log of communications sent from Amazon.
