Amazon and Apple Phone Scam Alert

New Fraudulent Phone Call Targets Apple and Amazon Customers

How to Recognize and Avoid the Scam:

A new and sophisticated phone scam has emerged, targeting unsuspecting Apple and Amazon customers. Scammers are impersonating both companies to trick victims into providing personal and financial information.

The scam begins with a phone call from an individual claiming to be an Amazon or Apple representative. The scammer will often mention a recent purchase or issue with your account.

To protect yourself from this scam, it's crucial to understand how it works. The scammers will typically:
- Impersonate Amazon or Apple employees
- Claim to need confirmation of a recent purchase you didn't make
- Ask for personal or financial information, such as your credit card number or Social Security number
- Use aggressive or threatening language to pressure you into providing the requested information

If you receive a call like this, do not provide any personal or financial information.

Remember, Amazon and Apple will never call you to confirm a purchase you didn't make or to ask for your Social Security number.

If you're unsure about the legitimacy of a call, hang up and contact Amazon or Apple directly through their official websites or customer service phone numbers.

By staying vigilant and following these tips, you can protect yourself from falling victim to this scam.
