FTC warns of a phishing scam using fake Amazon recall messages to steal personal data.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns about a new phishing scam where fake Amazon text messages claim a purchase has been recalled and offers instant refunds. Clicking the link leads to sites designed to steal personal data. To avoid fraud, do not click links, verify recalls on Amazon’s official site, and report suspicious texts. Victims should report losses at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and consider enabling two-factor authentication on their Amazon accounts.
