NEW SCAM? "[Account Info] Reminder: [Alert] - an account is waiting for a verification on 2"
Hey guys & gals,
Been on Amazon awhile but I have never saw this one before… Just received an email (to the email I use for Amazon) from do-not.reply@amazon.com. It states I need to update my billing info because the card on file doesn’t match. If I don’t within 24 hour all my orders will be cancelled… (blah blah blah).
I have attached a photo of what the attachment in the email looks like…Has anyone else gotten this? If so, can you please confirm this IS a scam?..
On another note…When you click the link, it does bring you to Amazon’s sign in page…
THANKS SO MUCH!

100% PHISHING email.
Amazon NEVER includes an “Update Now” button in an email.
Do not click any of the links.
Forward the entire email to stop-spoofing@amazon.com

It’s hard to say if it is a scam without seeing the actual server the mail was sent from or where that button takes you.

Not sure it is real or not. Have you recently tried to buy something via Amazon? You may have an expired credit card.

Looks like a scam to me. It was obvious just reading the email, but also that email address it came from looks as fake as the day is long.

All you have to do is look at the email address a bunch of numbers.com is not amazon.com
I hope you did not do anything after you clicked on the link, it may have only looked like Amazon’s sign in page.

It amazes me how few of the so called experts here can tell a fake e-mail from the real deal. It was blatantly obvious from the start, yet not one of you could figure it out. Until OP posted a screenshot that made it even more obvious.

“We have place a hold”? Place? The thieves are getting stupider than the Amazon support people. Unless they are one and the same?

I used to think I could make a lot of money proofreading scam emails, and then offering my services. The “Nigerian Prince” scam emails were laughable. They were so full of errors.
Yet people still fall for them. And I would have ended up in jail for being an accessory to a crime.
So yes, it’s obviously a scammer.
