Be careful when transacting over the phone
Amazon will never ask you for payment information (such as gift cards or verification cards). And if you ever come across such a situation, do not step into the fraudster's net and do any transaction.
Always verify links
Users should use the Amazon website directly to make changes to Amazon devices/services, orders or accounts. Because Amazon has not authorized any third-party sellers to do this.
Check the email or message properly
If you ever receive a suspicious link or attachment in any mail or message, do not open it. Because if you open it, you may be cheated.
Account “Suspended” or “Deleted” Emails Are Fake

According to Amazon, any unexpected calls/texts/emails requesting membership or mentioning your membership issues and asking you to confirm or cancel charges. Then understand that this unexpected call or text message is a conspiracy. These scammers try to steal money or bank account information from customers by asking them to renew their membership.
Do not share any personal information and report immediately
