Which? issues scam warning for anyone with an Amazon account

People with an Amazon account have been issued a warning about a scam text message designed to steal personal details. Consumer right group Which? has said anyone with an account on the shopping marketplace should be aware of the scam.

Customers are being sent text messages which appear to be from Amazon. The texts, which ask you to follow a link to secure your account following what has been an "attempted log in", are fake and should be ignored, the Liverpool Echo reports.

According to Which?, one of the texts reads: "Amazon: We detected a login into your account from a new device on 27/09/2022 at 15:10:08 UTC. If this wasn’t you, you can terminate that session via: [https://checkup-amazon.com]."
