Amazon Airpods Raffle Text Scam Linked to t5fzb .info

In April I got a message saying I was in second for the Amazon Pod Raffle, glad there are articles like this to protect people like me, thank you!

Received from 8323496181

Amazon: Congratulations MyName, you came 3rd in this week's Amazon pods raffle! Follow the link to : a3gsz.info/F5YkLp7IbG

Please, report, delete, and block any text like this you receive. No one wins free stuff from a raffle they never heard of...

My pods win notification came at 9:30 P.M which told me right away it came from a late sleeper or someplace overseas from a low I.Q. 3rd world jerk offer.

I received a similar text message. The link was u4fsx.info/pihkszC41L . I took a screen shot of the message, but didn't go there.

I received the Amazon AirPod raffle text today. It came from 323-627-6732 but it used my home address instead of my name. The link was 6xz4y4.com who’s IP is out of Missouri but the company associated is based out of Panama. *inserts sarcasm* Not suspicious at all.

My hubby paid the shipping for apparently winning earbuds & a smart watch (he came in 1st). I told him it was a scam. He called his CC company & they agreed it was a scam, removed charges, and issued a new CC. Today in the mail we received the earbuds & watch! If he pairs the watch or earbuds with his phone, will it steal his info that way??

My mom actually clicked on this link and they sent her some fake AirPods. What do I do now?

Have your mom open a dispute with her bank to have her money refunded.

What do I do if I clicked on the amazon raffle scam link and put credit card information on it?

It will be stolen and used fraudulently.

I received mine on March 6th. It was from 17148657868. It said I won. Ha!

lmaooo "Earpods"

Just received "message" from 17144005321 that I came in 3rd in today's Amazon Airpods raffle.
BEWARE!

I JUST GOT THIS 1Hour ago: OBV. Amazon doesn’t operate like this. DO NOT EVEN RISK OPENING SUCH TEXTS!!

Amazon: Congratulations Russo, you came 3rd in March's Amazon Airpods raffle! Follow the link to arrange delivery: u4fsx.info/pikGzNDHhe

Mine was from 1.657.446.8912, link is u4fsx.info

I got this text yesterday. I also got a text from the same area code (714) ON A SUNDAY saying that the Post Office couldn't deliver my letter. Um...USPS doesn't deliver on Sundays. No, I was not born in a barn. There's no such thing as a free AirPod or a free lunch. Delete and block.

On 3/8/21 I received a text message from the very same people. In getting these in the past be sure to delete the text and block the number if you can. I am so tired of this. And using Amazon as they do is illegal and phishing attack so don’t enter anything and get rid of it!

1 (714) 400-7817 I received a text that my order would be returned and I’d incur further charges! It’s got to be a fishing site they link to this number

This time I'm 1st in the raffle. The link was "u2fzs.info/FNaEHFi2xw". Is there any way of blocking all the different numbers at one time? That would be SO MUCH EASIER! :)

Try reporting the scam to your phone service provider, maybe they can block them before they reach you.

Just got the text today. Glad I checked.

Same here, I was second, txt came from 714-400-5875

I received this text today from 714-400-7687.

Thanks for the info on this scam. I came in first!

I just got the Amazon text. I didn't open it, or click on anything. It came from a 714 number.

I received a text message from (714)618-2706 saying I came in first for Amazon earpod raffle. Wasn't clicking on that one!

I just received the same text from (714)618-2621. Amazon never contact me through text. always through email or Amazon app.

This is the number I just got this scam text from. I'm in Sacramento, CA.

Yes, I received the same text today, claiming I came in first for Amazon's raffle for AirPods. I was suspicious because Amazon has never sent a text to me, they e-mail only. I then checked online to see if anyone else had received the same text and sure enough there were several posts about this phishing scam. I deleted the text.

I fell for it. I had to enter my email address and password, which I did. So now what, change my password with Amazon? Anything else I should do?

Change your password and check if your account was used to make orders sent to addresses you don't know.

Just got the scam text saying I came in 1st

Amazon: Congratulations MY NAME you came in 1st in today's Amazon Earpod raffle! Click link to arrange shipment: u2fs.info/FN5CwPB3KT.

Received this today, I came in 3rd and won "ear pods". The website is u2fzs.info and phone number it came from was 714-400-5875

Just got my notification of 3rd place win about half hour ago.....

Wow they have upgraded the scam, I came in 1st place today!!!

So did I! I wonder how many others get to share 1st place. LOL

Another example:

Amazon: Congratulations MYNAME, you came 1st in today's Amazon Earpods raffle! Follow this link to set delivery: t9fzc.info/HxiCMWAnxS

I did this and taught them how to do their job. Imagine trying the ol' you won ___ to get someone's ip and shbit in 2021. They should hire me /j 🙄

Just received the same thing. Mine said I came in 2nd 😂 so dumb

Got the same text today. From 714-400-7461

Amazon: Congratulations Lawrence, you came 1st in today's Amazon Earpods raffle! Click this link to arrange shipment: t9fzc.info/HxgWJkkDJb

It’s obviously a scam, Amazon wouldn’t text me about an AirPod giveaway, nor would they give a random link that is not the official Amazon website. The real hard part is resisting temptation to text the number back something funny.

This is the text I received which is a little different.
Amazon: Congratulations Pam, you came in 2nd in this week's Amazon Earpods raffle! Follow the link to arrange delivery: t9fzc.info/HxiCMWnACY

Amazon: Congratulations [name], you came 3rd in today's Amazon Earpods raffle! Click the link to arrange delivery: t7fxv.info/IXveHn2rLU

Earpods? Lmao, like Great Value brand Airpods I guess 😆

Received the text this afternoon directing me to http://t7fxv.info/IXveHncbuU. I never entered an Amazon raffle. Suspected a scam and see that I am correct. The text came from 714-225-3849.

Today 3/6/21 I received this...

Amazon: Congratulations Cindy, you came in 2nd in today's Amazon Airpods raffle! Click the link to arrange delivery: t8fmc.info/gpIykvsZkn

No, I’m not gonna open it! Wtheck is an AirPod anyway?!

Amazon: Congratulations you came 3rd in March's Amazon Airpods raffle! Follow this link to arrange shipment: t7fxv.info/IXtyDL5lzD

Got this today. Don’t enter raffles. Don’t like AirPods. Came from a bogus number 714 area code.

So did i, I got message say click on link, I didnt though and blocked them

Also received this phishing text

I got a test at 9:12am today, but they used my nickname, "Lolo" instead of my real name...weird

Just got one from phone: 714-400-5324, link text says t8fmc.info/gpfcdhlvoj
