Fake email from Amazon

TaxiMagicien42

Hello,

For information, I share with you the phishing attempt with a fake email from Amazon regarding the "Amazon Prime Family" subscription that I received today.
As you can see from the first screenshot the email address is suspicious. Regarding the second screenshot I have hidden my personal information (email and bank details).
This scam is related to the data leak suffered by my service provider Free in 2024.
I did not fall into the trap Scamio confirmed that the email is suspicious that I deleted.

Regards,

Hi @TaxiMagicien42 and welcome back on the forum! 🖐️😊

Thanks for sharing this. Indeed, the first clue that this is a scam is the sender's email address, which is obviously not an official Amazon contact. Then you have the broken logo and the ridiculous amount which is supposed to cover the "Amazon Prime Family" yearly subscription. And of course, the way the email is written, claiming to be just a confirmation of payment so that it can lure the receiver into thinking that the funds will be debited from their account, thus creating the feel of urgency, trying to make the recipient react irrationally and reply or contact the sender, and that's when the scam happens.

Again, good example of a scam email and I appreciate you took the time to post it here.
