sheryl Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I just rec'd an email from Amazon stating they froze my acct due to unusual activity. Well, I don't have an acct. We order from my dh's acct which is "our" acct connected with his email, etc. After reading that, I immediately signed in successfully to Amazon. Beware there may be scammers out there claiming to be Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are scammers claiming to be everybody. If I wasn't expecting it (and especially if they dont' use my full name) - I automatically look at the return e-mail. they've never had an amazon/ebay/paypal/home-depot/costco/et. return address. not ever. eta: we have fun with the "microsoft technical dept" and our computer sending error messages . . . . which computer? which server? "your microsoft computer" . . . we have ____, which one is it? dd had a buddy who said "I have 100 servers here, which one is it?" I did have fun asking them how building seven was, did they like working there etc.. . . .Building seven was never built.

J-rap Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I get those from Amazon about every other month. Amazon actually has an email address that you can forward them to so they have them recorded as spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I've been getting emails from FedEx for over a year saying they want to deliver my package 🙄 And Netflix. I'm' sure I've gotten those Amazon spams too, but I just ignore and trash them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
