The email messages below, which claim that the recipients have received an Amazon $50 bonus, reward, voucher or credit that they can redeem, by clicking on the link in the same email messages before it expires, are fakes. Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into visiting phishing and malicious websites created by cyber-criminals to steal their victims' personal and financial information, and infect their computers with malicious software like viruses and Trojan horse.

You have been chosen to receive a prize from AmazonRewards.com. Just answer these questions correctly in one and a half minutes and you qualify for certain prizes. Ie 1000.00 gift card or a smartphone etc. It happens when I use Amazon. This pop up occurs and I can't get rid of it.

I did try to claim but in end, they redirected me to choose a deal I picked Apple Music they obviously took that as I received an email from Apple Music thanks for subscribing. I have this already as the library I have for iTunes showed up? How do I make sure I wont be charged for a subscription. Nancy.

  If you have given them your credit card information, please contact your bank for help. Tell your bank that you unknowingly entered your credit card information on a fraudulent website.

I never believe all this stuff I get in email anyway....it just looks so phony...on another note...watch out for variations in a name...like they put a 1 after the name...etc...I got an email from Delta1 .com one time saying that I am being charged like $375 for an airline ticket and to click on the email to verify...I knew it was a scam, reported it and blocked it....the old saying "if it looks too good to be true, it isn't "
