Amazon Scam is Real!
Two days after posting a blog about Amazon Scam news from Winnipeg police, I received an email below from Amazon.
At first glance, the email looks legit and a simple click on the link or by tapping the message block could actually opens the link. (I accidentally click on the message block, while capturing the message).
The email was very enticing - I won a $100 coupon that I could use for shopping at Amazon! Sweet! :)
However, knowing about the Scam News prompted me to investigate the email further instead of just clicking the link. These are the facts that made me conclude this is a real Amazon Scam:
1. The start of the message "Dear" without my actual name sounds fishy. It's an obvious generic message.
2. $100 coupon in the email title became $1000 coupon in the message body.
3. There is a time-sensitive, call to action pressure clicking line at the bottom of the message
4. Email address of the sender looks like this. Definitely not an Amazon's email address.
Lito said that those scammers just want to earn money...
I said: Heck yeah! I want to earn too, but not in a dirty way!
So stay vigilant & cautious in the online world! Let's not fall in these online predators traps!
Merry Christmas & a successful 2019 everyone!😀
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, I have seen quite a few Amazon lures, this is the first email link. I get a phone call once a week telling me to go to Amazon.org for a marketing job that pay $30 per hr.

Wow a phone call once a week? That must be very annoying getting an unwanted caller regularly. I typically just block the number to stop them from calling again.
Scammers are really good in what they do, eh!
Thanks Stacie!
I tried blocking and they call from another number lol, it is very annoying too!! They are way too good at what they do. If they applied themselves in an honest job, they could be amazing workers lmao!!

Always look at the sender and even some look legit, always be careful seeing something for nothing.
