If you use Amazon's popular Prime service you need to be on alert for phone calls that claim to be from the firm. It seems that users of this popular subscription plan - which includes speedy delivery plus access to music and movies - are increasingly being targeted by cyber crooks looking to hack into accounts.
The consumer experts at Which? have confirmed that a growing number of Prime members have been in touch with them after receiving calls from con artists claiming to be from Amazon.
The nasty scam begins with a call from an unrecognised number. Once the phone is answered, the caller explains that they are from Amazon and that they have bad news about the account - this is usually that the price is going up or the current plan is about to expire.
