‘Cancel subscription’ Amazon Prime emails
Scams and threats to avoid, plus new security tools
What’s the threat?
Amazon has warned all 200 million Prime subscribers that scammers are sending emails claiming their subscription will automatically renew at a price they weren’t expecting. These emails might include personal information obtained from other sources to appear legitimate.
They may also include a ‘cancel subscription’ button that leads to a fake Amazon login page. If you log in there, the scammers will be able to use your details to log into your Amazon account and change the delivery address to their own. They can then make purchases that take money from your bank account but send the item to their home.
