Be careful: Fraudsters target Amazon users' login, address and credit card details.
Users repeatedly find dubious invoices from Amazon in their email inboxes. However, these invoices are forgeries that lead to data entry masks that are also fake.
The fraudsters pretend that a voucher card for a cruise worth $100 has been purchased. This invoice is entirely in English.
To cancel the order or report problems, the recipient should follow a link.
The address bar shows that the link obviously doesn't lead to the correct Amazon page. However, the fraudsters took the trouble and professionally recreated the corporate down to the smallest detail.

Anyone who now enters their login data is playing it directly into the hands of cyber criminals. But of course the fraudsters are not satisfied with that alone and also want all personal data such as name, address and telephone number. To top it off, the user is then supposed to reveal their credit card details. It seems particularly dubious that people switch back and forth between German and English.
This means that the criminals have all the ingredients they need to not only make purchases at their victim's expense, but can also misuse the data for identity fraud and/or resell it on the Darknet for cash.
