We continue to get calls about scam calls involving many different schemes. A call we received today was supposedly from Amazon security, telling this person their account had been compromised and was asking them to go to their computer.
If the caller had not become suspicious of this call, they could have unknowingly given the caller a lot of personal information which could have cost them dearly.
If you happen to receive one of these calls, you can call Amazon's actual phone number 888-280-4331. Another way to ensure that you're reaching the real Amazon is to visit the retail giant's "Contact Us" page.
For any scam calls, remember:
-Never give an unknown caller any personal or financial information.
-If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Tell them not to call again and hang up.
-Block them if you can—smartphones will often let you block a caller.
