We have, again, had reports of residents receiving telephone calls impersonating Amazon Prime, telling victims their subscription will be ‘renewed’ for £39.99
How it works
- You get an automated call
- You are told your Amazon Prime account is to be renewed for £39.99
- You are told to press button 1 to renew
What to do
- End the telephone call – this is a scam
- Visit the Amazon Help pages for more information and scams affecting Amazon
- Please also note that Amazon will never ask for your personal information, or ask you to make a payment outside of their website (e.g. via bank transfer, emailing credit card details, etc.)
- Report the scam to Action Fraud 0300 123 2040 or online
- Please warn vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours.
