With millions of people worldwide enjoying Amazon Prime’s speedy shipping and exclusive deals, it’s no surprise cybercriminals are trying to cash in. This week’s scam starts with an email warning that your Prime membership is about to lapse. Tucked inside the email is a link pointing to a PDF file—seems innocent enough, right? Think again.

Clicking that PDF redirects you to a page that mimics Amazon’s login screen down to the last detail. But it’s a fraud, built by scammers to trick you. If you enter your login details, the page doesn’t stop there—it asks for more, like your home address and credit card info. The kicker? Your Prime membership stays untouched, but the cybercriminals walk away with your account credentials and financial details.

Stay one step ahead of this phishing scam with these tips:

• Think before opening attachments. An unexpected email with a file? That’s a red flag—don’t click unless you’re sure it’s legit.
• Check your membership the safe way. Worried about your Prime status? Log in directly on Amazon’s official website or app to confirm.
• Watch for pressure tactics. Emails that push you to act fast or demand sensitive info are often trouble. If something feels off, reach out to Amazon through their official site or customer service line.

This scam plays on trust, but a little caution can keep your info secure. Shop smart and stay safe!
