#AmazonPrimeDay
o The company is warning shoppers to be on the lookout for scams as Amazon kicks off Prime Day today and tomorrow.
o Specifically, they want people to watch for suspicious emails or texts asking you to contact them or download software, as well as being asked to make an Amazon payment over phone, email, or bank transfer on another website.
o If you see something you suspect is a scam, you can report it directly to Amazon, to the Federal Trade Commission, and to your state’s consumer protection office.
o The FTC reports that Amazon was the most impersonated business in 2021, with around one in three reporting that they encountered a scammer pretending to be an Amazon rep. Those scams ended up costing consumers over $27 million in losses.
