New Phishing Scam

Deanie · ‎03-09-2010

My husband just received a message on his smart phone. The message said that Amazon Prime was extended and here is a 50 dollar gift certificate, just click on the link. The predators are out there.

I've been getting that as an email for over a year, I got one today in fact. Don't open it, just delete it and move on. It's an obvious fake. If Amazon was going to offer anything, they'd do it through Amazon.com, they wouldn't send an email or even sillier a text message. But I'm sure people fall for it. I'm still getting calls on my cell phone telling me to call some 800 number to collect my student loan money...lol
