How to avoid Amazon scams
“Impersonation” or “imposter” scams are the most common tactic used to perpetrate scams, according to the Better Business Bureau.
Scammers can pretend to be from a trusted company, and reach out to consumers to try to access sensitive information such as social security numbers, bank information, or account details.
