Careful. I May Have Just Experienced a Scam (Failure)

monicakm · ‎03-16-2010

I say failure because I never EVER open/click on a website. I just got an Amazon delivery (micro SD card...nothing fun). 30 seconds after it was delivered, I got an email saying I missed my Amazon delivery and to "click here" to reschedule. Amazon never requires me to be home. They don't even ring the doorbell. So, watch out. You could be next. What is scary is that some evil doers KNOW that I just got an Amazon delivery That's upsetting. I'm going to contact Amazon shortly.

I understand completely. I receive emails stating my credit card cannot be charged as there is something wrong with it. Supposedly from Amazon. I just delete them because I know there is nothing wrong with my card. It's amazing how they can get our information.

@monicakm - That is crazy. The scammers are relentless and will try anything.

Thanks for the warning ! I just received a Amazon delivery today and Alexa informed me my package had arrived. I have a ring doorbell so I can see the delivery. I also received a email post delivery with a picture of the package at my door. I live in a apartment complex and was shocked the other day to see a Amazon delivery guy via my ring doorbell just throwing packages on the floor by the mailboxes. There might have been something breakable in the boxes ! Shame !

@monicakm Thank you for letting us know about this scary scam! I truly despise scammers, especially phone call scammers. I really gave one a piece of my mind a while back because he kept calling multiple times a day and I'd hang up on him and one day I lost it and said, "I know who you are and what you're trying to do and it is not ok. You are a scammer, a loser and I demand an apology!" He went silent and I yelled into the phone, "Do you hear me?! Apologize now!" And he mumbled sorry and then I told him he was a wuss and to never call again. Scammers are some of the worst people out there- absolute moraly bankrupt jerks. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that email scam.

Amazon has been used for multiple scams recently. (more than usual). Amazon sent emails advising Prime members to be on the lookout for scams advising there are issues with delivery, payment of items or membership payment. I think these scammers are targeting everyone since so many people buy from Amazon even if they are not Prime members.

Kudos to you for being alert and identifying this scam!

@monicakm If you hover your cursor over the email on your laptop/desktop you can see if the e mail came from Amazon.

If spam comes into your in box, you can move it into your spam box.

You can stop getting spam in your in box by setting your e mail to only accept mail from those in your contact list.

If you open a spam e mail, never click on any links in the e mail.
Amazon has a section on their website discussing spam & how you can report it to them by forwarding it to

stop-spoofing at (use the @ sign) amazon.com. No spaces between any part of the address.

Thanks for the update and yes, I have received scam mails regarding deliveries. I appreciate any posts regarding scams since they have become prevalent and invasive.
