I have an Amazon account and I monitor my mother's account also. We've gotten several saying our account was going to be closed unless we take action by contacting them by clicking >this link<. Yeah, not gonna happen.
The first clue is when I hover my mouse over the email, the address that pops up is nothing "amazon".

I get those regarding Amazon, Verizon, etc. Ignore all of them.

I get lots of those and don't have an amazon account.
A favorite is the phone calls stating they've suspended my social security account.This message has been edited. Last edited by: braillediver,

Timely. I just got a text from AT&T saying my payment was on hold. And I dont use AT&T for anything!

Wells Fargo emailed me today that they’re going to close my bank account if I don’t login and verify my identity immediately. Of course, the fact that I don’t have an account with them makes that tough to do, so I guess they’ll just have to close it. Pity.

You get the emails and texts because the scammers are successful more than enough to make it profitable.

if you have to open a questionable email to clear something up, don't.

But, they’re all from reputable companies...

If you see e-mails like this, don't even read them. Delete them or move them to the spam folder. If you click on anything in them, your computer will get hijacked.

I love when they cut and paste logos and have such a low resolution it is pixelated.
Or how the emails come from some gibberish email address.
Get them from “Amazon”, “Apple”, and a variety of banks most of which I don’t even have accounts.
When I am feeling snarky I’ll reply with made up bullshit account info and fantasize about some scammer getting all moist and exited then wasting their time trying to log in with what I provided.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

When I get a questionable email, the first thing I do is always check the actual address. It should be fairly obvious at that point if it's BS.

Some of these (before I started deleting them on sight) look authentic at first glance, but examine them closer and you find typos, grammatical errors and even fonts looking slightly "off." For example, one I got from "American Express" had an accent mark over the A.
