Una no go believe wetin dey happen as Amazon don send warning to over 200 million Prime pipo say make dem shine their eye! E be like say, scammers don open new branch wey dem dey use fake emails dey chop customers login info.
According to di gists, di fake emails dey claim say your Amazon Prime subscription go renew, but e go come with say new price wey dem no talk before (abeg, wetin be all dis wahala?). Some emails even dey come with personal info wey fit confuse you to reason say na real Amazon dey talk.
Dem dey add button wey dem call “cancel subscription” like say you fit just click am and everything go dey alright. But hold on small! If you click dat button, na wahala you don enter as e go carry you go fake login page wey be scammer land. If you put your details, dem go use am for serious business (and no be di kind business wey we dey talk o!).
“We don notice say pipo dey report plenty fake emails about Amazon Prime membership,” Amazon tok through dem official message. Dem wan ensure sey scammer no go fit use dem brand dey live large for our expense (talk true, nobody want get small credit na).
As di emails dey try trick people by including personal info, wetin we go fit do? Abeg no rush to click anything! If you get email like dat, check di sender email address. No be everybody wey include Amazon logo go be real Amazon. Dem no dey send messages like dis through email, e go always dey for your Amazon app or website. So, calm down and check well, no be all that glitter dey shine.
Matter don reach di point wey Amazon talk say dem don block over 55,000 phishing websites last year. If you don click any suspicious link, make sure sey you monitor your bank statement for any strange charge. Report to your bank immediately if you see anything wey no be your wahala.
To stay safe, ensure sey you dey use strong passwords (and no be di same password everywhere o, abeg). You fit enable two-step verification plus other security settings wey dey dey your account settings. E go help put roadblock for di scammers dem wey dey try enter your account.
So, my pipo, make we dey guard our accounts like we dey guard our palm wine – no allow anybody chop your login data just because you wan click cancel subscription!
