‘Scamazon’ – how fake emails are targeting Prime subscribers

A surge in messages from fraudsters about automatic renewal at a higher price has prompted Amazon to email 200m users to warn them

As a frequent Amazon shopper you pay 95 for an annual Prime subscription, so when an email arrives warning the price is going up you are quick to react.

But the email, which includes a button to click on to cancel" the subscription, is a scam and sent by fraudsters trying to steal your account login and payment details.
