How to Avoid the Grinch Who Steals Your Info

AMAZON SCAM

At We Florida Financial, your security is our top priority. Amazon scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They may send calls, texts, or emails using deceptive tactics to trick you into providing sensitive personal information or sign-in credentials. Here’s how you can stay one step ahead of these fraudsters.

Common Scam Tactics

Scammers often try to create a sense of urgency or fear by claiming:

  • There’s a fraud investigation and you need to “verify” your account.
  • Suspicious or unauthorized activity has been detected on your Amazon account.

These tactics are designed to pressure you into sharing personal information.

How to Stay Protected

Here are a few steps to safeguard your information:

  • Amazon will never ask for sensitive information over the phone. Never share your password, One-Time Password (OTP), or personal details with anyone claiming to be from Amazon.
  • Use Amazon’s Message Center. Verify communications by logging into your account directly and checking the Message Center for authentic emails.
  • Update your information securely. If you need to update billing or account details, always do so by visiting Amazon’s official website or app.
  • Contact Amazon directly. Their Customer Service is available 24/7 to assist you with any concerns.

At We Florida Financial, we encourage our members to adopt similar precautions when managing their accounts with us. Whether you’re checking your balance, updating account details, or reviewing transactions, always use secure and verified channels.
