Scam of the Week

Smishing in the Amazon
In this week's scam, you receive an unexpected text message that looks like it’s from Amazon. The message claims that an item you bought failed a “routine quality inspection” or has been recalled. The text offers you a full refund, and you don’t even need to return the item. You only have to tap a link in the text message to get your money back.

However, the refund offer is a trick, and the message is not actually from Amazon. This message is a text phishing scam that was sent to you by cybercriminals, also known as smishing. If you tap the link in the message, you will be directed to a fake website that looks exactly like Amazon's official site. This site will ask you to enter your account login information, payment details, and other personal data. If you enter any information here, the cybercriminals can steal your Amazon account and money!

Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a smishing scam:

Never tap links in an unexpected text message. If you need to contact Amazon regarding a purchase, always navigate to their official website and use the contact information listed there.
Be cautious of any offer that promises a full refund without requiring you to return the item. Scammers use these “too good to be true” offers to make you act quickly without thinking.
Report suspicious texts using your phone’s “report junk” option, then delete the message.
