Amazon scams

How to report a Amazon scam

• Report a scam (Amazon account holders): https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GRGRY7AQ3LMPXVCV
• No Amazon account? Send the message as an attachment: [email protected]
• Check if a message is really from Amazon: https://account-status.amazon.com/verify-communication
• Send a suspicious message to check if it is from Amazon: [email protected]

Then get the fake site taken down: report the phishing link.

What Amazon says

• Amazon says every email it sends appears in Message Center in your account. If the email is not there, Amazon did not send it.
• Amazon says real Amazon emails come from an amazon.com email address. Real Amazon websites have a dot before amazon.com, like https://something.amazon.com.
• Amazon says it will never ask you by text message to give personal information, payment details or gift card codes, or to call a phone number.
• Amazon says a message about an order you did not place likely was not from Amazon. Check Your Orders in your account instead.
• Amazon says it cannot reply personally to reports sent to [email protected], but you may get an automatic confirmation.
