Users are still receiving strange emails in the name of Amazon.
And it's always about verifying the Amazon account again! But be careful – nasty data phishers are lurking behind the link provided!
For example, this is what one of these fraudulent emails looks like at the moment:
Good day,
Unauthorized access to your user account has just been detected.
In this regard, we have temporarily disabled it for protection.
Please validate yourself as a legitimate account holder to request account reactivation.If there are any discrepancies with the account information we have stored during this process, we will unfortunately be forced to freeze the account until your identity is finally clarified.
On to legitimacy
Kind regards,
Amazon.de
In this case it is particularly difficult to detect fraud. Except for the somewhat tattered logo and the word “entvalid” (“final”), the text looks okay at first glance – someone has put a lot of effort into this.
If you click on the link, we will be redirected to an external site. We will be shown a login mask. This is also very professionally designed and corresponds to Amazon's corporate design 1:1:
If you enter your valuable email address or telephone number here, the fraudster can resell this information.
We enter any email address and go to another page. Using the excuse that the account is temporarily disabled, we are supposed to update our personal information. This is how the fraudsters want to access further sensitive data:
Conclusion:
This email is designed to be deceptively real!
Anyone who receives such a request should definitely not use the link, but rather switch to Amazon manually in the browser and log in using the original address.
Here you can really see whether the account has been deactivated or there is unauthorized access. It's best to send this email to Amazon itself so that the company can quickly warn you about such phishing attempts!
