Fake Amazon Website Stealing Passwords

A fake Amazon website is tricking people into entering their login details, which are then stolen by criminals. Anyone who shops on Amazon, including parents buying gifts or kids with Amazon accounts, could be targeted.

What to do: Warn your family never to click Amazon links in emails or messages — always type amazon.com directly into the browser, and check that the web address is exactly 'amazon.com' before entering any password or payment details.

What this means for your family

Criminals are creating fake Amazon websites that look real to steal your password and payment information. If anyone in your family shops on Amazon, make sure they always type amazon.com directly into their browser instead of clicking links in emails or texts, and double-check the web address before logging in. This simple habit protects your account, your money, and any gifts you're ordering.
