But Amazon customers are not the only ones who look forward to Prime Day.
Fake Websites
This bang out of scam isbased on typosquatting.
Here, scammers create replicas of the real Amazon website.
Everything looks and feels the same, from the user interface to the logo.
But the website address is actually different, and you may suspect something is amiss when you access.
The spelling of the fake website address will look like the real “www.amazon.com” at a quick glance.
Most people land on these websites when they mistype the address name.
Most fake websites will display a look-alike user dashboard when users attempt to access.
Phishing also has the potential to reach many people at the same time.
Scammers commonly send emails or texts containing promotional messages or inviting the recipient to claim some fictitious reward.
The goal is to get an unsuspecting customer to click a link in the message.
Here, the scammer actually calls and claims to be an Amazon employee.
Then, they offer to solve a fictitious problem for a small fee.
Or the scammers claim the customer has been chosen to receive a reward in a lucky draw.
Then, they encourage the person to provide their login information or bank details to claim the reward.
Fake reviews have always been around.
New or small sellers often do this in a competitive spirit to drive the sale of legit products.
However, there is no definitive way for you, the buyer, to separate wolf from sheep.
It can be hard to find quality in an ocean of low-priced products.
Trust that scammers can exploit.
But scammers dont have off-days.
Scams continue, even after Prime Day.
