Scammy texts offering “refunds” for Amazon purchases

Scammers are pretending to be Amazon again. This time, they’re sending texts claiming there’s a problem with something you bought. They offer a refund if you click a link — but it’s a scam.

Here’s how the scam works so you can avoid it.

You get an unexpected text that looks like it’s from Amazon. It claims the company did a “routine quality inspection” and an item you recently bought doesn’t meet Amazon’s standards or has been recalled. The text offers you a full refund and says you don’t need to return the item — as long as you click a link to request your money back. But there is no refund. Instead, it’s a phishing scam to steal your money or personal information. Click the link below to read more.

All are invited to join in honoring Samantha’s life and standing in solidarity with all victims of domestic violence.
