Don’t click on that text claiming to be from Amazon. Here’s what to know about the scam

You order something on Amazon, but then get a text saying there’s a problem. You click on the link for a refund – only to find out too late that you’re now the victim of a scam.

The Federal Trade Commission is warning consumers about scammers pretending to be Amazon.

The scam text might mention that something you bough failed a routine quality inspection or is being recalled, and all you have to do is fill out your information for a refund.

Officials say this is really a phishing scam to steal your money or information.

What should you do if you get a text like this?

Don’t open and don’t respond.

Instead, check your Amazon account through the website or app to see if there’s actually a problem. Then send unwanted texts to 7726 to report it as spam or use your phone’s “report junk” option.
