Urgent Email Alert from Amazon UK Customers Must Act Now

 

Amazon has sent an urgent new email to all customers amid a warning that they should remain on alert. According to the message, customers in the UK should beware of phishing emails, texts, or phone calls that claim to be from the company. 
Cybercriminals are targeting the retail giant with its trusted name to prey on unsuspecting customers who give them personal information and money by using the brand’s trusted reputation. In many of these scams, there is a false promise that Amazon accounts will be closed or that unauthorized charges have been established against them.
