Amazon has issued a warning to customers after it confirmed it took down tens of thousands of scammers. The global company took down more than 20,000 phishing websites and 10,000 phone numbers that were being used by scammers to impersonate Amazon, with the global powerhouse issuing guidance to those who use the service.
In an email sent to shoppers, Amazon said people should be wary of installing apps and software as the company will not ask you to download anything in order to receive a refund or to get help from customer service. It has also advised people to never pay over the phone as Amazon will not ask people to provide their payment information over the phone.
People are also urged to verify their orders directly with Amazon, with the company not calling, texting or emailing people about unexpected orders. For any questions about orders, people should check "Your Orders" on the website or app, Liverpool Echo reports.
