New “Amazon” Scam
Dec 2020
Here’s some info about a scam I just discovered involving “Amazon” (not really!) I saw a “missed call” from the number below with a text message
“New text message from (833) 941-1389”
“A Message from Amazon Customer Service . bit.ly/3p5gHtI”
Clicking the shortened bit.ly link takes one to some bogus page with this text and the Amazon logo (the link now has a Warning on it from Bitly that its dangerous)

THIS IS BOGUS, PEOPLE!
IT IS NOT FROM AMAZON BUT FROM SCAMMERS / HACKERS LOOKING TO GET YOUR AMAZON LOGIN INFO AND CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!! IF YOU GET THIS DO NOT CLICK THE LINK AND DO NOT – REPEAT DO NOT – DIVULGE YOUR AMAZON ACCOUNT INFORMATION. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE AFTER ALONG WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM PROMAC/NYC
UPDATE: I AM NOW ALSO GETTING PHONE CALLS WITH ROBO VOICE RECORDING: “THIS IS AMAZON. A $700 CHARGE WAS MADE TO YOUR ACCOUNT…” – AGAIN, THIS IS FAKE; DO NOT FALL FOR IT. SCAMMERS!!!
