Beware the Bogus Refund: How Smishing Scams Are Fooling Amazon Shoppers
Beware of text phishing scams, or smishing! A fake Amazon refund offer is making the rounds. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Never tap unexpected links; scammers are after your data, not your returns. Stay sharp, report junk, and avoid becoming the next phishing catch of the day!
Hot Take:
If it smells like a scam and quacks like a scam, it’s probably a smishing scheme! Remember folks, Amazon isn’t giving out free money like it’s Christmas morning, and no one’s refunding you without getting their junk back. Stay sharp out there because these cybercriminals are as sneaky as a cat in a dog park, only less fun and way more costly.
Key Points:
- Unexpected texts claiming item recalls are likely phishing scams.
- Cybercriminals use fake Amazon sites to steal personal information.
- Always verify suspicious offers through official websites.
- Report and delete dodgy texts to protect yourself and others.
- Recent spike in phishing campaigns highlights the need for vigilance.
