Amazon Issues Alert to Millions | Facts Matter

Amazon has just put out an urgent notice, warning millions of Americans to watch out for some new tactics that online scammers are using to steal your hard-earned money.

Specifically, Amazon wrote this in a statement sent out to millions of their customers: “Amazon will never ask you to provide payment information for products or services over the phone … [We will] never ask you to disclose your password or verify sensitive personal information over the phone or on any website other than Amazon.com … [Scammers] constantly devise new schemes, exploit new technologies, and change tactics to avoid detection.”

What the company said about scammers constantly trying new methods is absolutely accurate. In fact, according to the Federal Trade Commission, between July 2020 and June 2021 (the latest publicly available data), around 96,000 people were targeted by some form of an Amazon-related scam—with them losing a total of at least $27 million.
