At the moment a lot of people are receiving a text message that supposedly came from AMAZON.DE. Apparently the respective Amazon account was blocked due to suspicious activity!
Important note: This is a completely new type of phishing! Phishing attempts are usually delivered by scammers via email. But this time it's a text message!
The user should now follow a link and update the information.
DANGER! This SMS mentioned is a phishing attempt.
We have been aware of such counterfeits for years. But these were sent via email. This is now a new nasty scam!
As soon as the user taps on the link, they end up on a fake Amazon.de LOGIN page!
WARNING!
If you were to enter your access data for your Amazon customer account here, it would 1:1 end up in the hands of internet fraudsters!
But not only this.
The user is redirected to a page where he also has to enter further personal data. In addition to his name and address, this also includes his date of birth.
If you receive such a text message, please do not respond to it and please delete it from your cell phone immediately!
