With Amazon’s annual Prime Day shopping extravaganza now upon us, spanning Wednesday, Oct. 08 and Thursday, Oct. 09, there are undoubtedly many bargains to be snapped up. However, shoppers are being warned to be careful as security experts have uncovered more than 100 different Prime-focused threat campaigns and nearly 900 malicious new Amazon-related web domains in the run-up to the sales. Here’s what you need to know and do to enjoy your shopping while staying safe and secure.
Amazon has a vested interest in keeping customers safe from scammers and hackers all year round, and especially when it comes to time for Prime Day sales. After all, a customer who loses money to a scammer, or one whose account gets compromised by a hacker, is likely to be less inclined to participate in what should be an enjoyable and money-saving experience in future.
Remember that Amazon will never ask for any payments by email or phone; they will only be made through the Amazon app or website. So put your trust in those and nothing else. “We will not call and ask you to make a payment or bank transfer on another website,” Amazon said.
