Just had a fake email about my Amazon Prime subscription. I don't have Amazon Prime but they have 'signed' me up a few times in the past. I think that this is when I have ordered something and haven't noticed that you are signing up to Prime as well. In my rage at Amazon, I 'logged in' before realising that it was fake. Dunno whether scammers are using Christmas as a distraction to get Amazon passwords.
What did it look like? And what was the address that it came from and took you to when you clicked? I assume you changed your password and stuff now?
This of course, is the part where I exude indifference & rage about not reporting said 'orrible email back at the real amazon company. To help stop more well meaning customers from the con. [email protected]
Just had one from Apple today and reported it - but I guess they have thousands of emails and keep creating the scams so probably a useless task reporting
Oh I see what you did there,.. No! You are helping reduce the number of illegally created subterfuge address & therein there means to spread disharmony.
Always look at the full URL of any links in the email before you commit to a click. I for one always look first at the originators email address as 99.9% of the time it's a fake. I normally cut and paste it into a dead end gmail account I created and send them a reply to tell them where to get off, assuming I can be bothered. If you haven't solicited any personal information by way of an official/geniune form online then it's safe to assume the content of such emails is bullsh*t.
