The "Amazon Prime Membership has been Suspended" email scam below contains a link to a fake or phishing Amazon website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information. If the link in the fake email is clicked, recipients will be taken to a fake Amazon page where they will be asked to re-enter their name, address, and credit card information. And, if they do, all that information will be sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam. Therefore, if you think you have been tricked by the same scam, please change your Amazon password and contact Amazon and your bank immediately.

Amazon will never send you an unsolicited email that asks you to provide sensitive personal information like your social security number, tax ID, bank account number, credit card information, ID questions like your mother's maiden name or your password. If you receive a suspicious email, report it immediately.

Suspicious emails or webpages not from Amazon.com often contain:

An order confirmation for an item you didn't purchase or an attachment to an order confirmation - Note: Go to Your Orders to see if there is an order that matches the details in the email. If it doesn't match an order in Your Account, the message isn't from Amazon.
Requests for your Amazon.com username and/or password, or other personal information
Requests to update payment information - Note: Go to Your Account and select Payment options. If you aren't prompted to update your payment method on that screen, the message isn't from Amazon.
Links to websites that look like Amazon.com, but aren't Amazon
Attachments or prompts to install software on your computer
Typos or grammatical errors
Forged email addresses to make it look like the email is coming from Amazon.com- Note: If the "from" line of the email contains an Internet Service Provider (ISP) other than @amazon.com, then it's a fraudulent email.

To determine if there is something wrong with your Amazon account, always go directly to www.amazon.com and sign-in. After signing in, if there is something wrong with your account, you will be notifed.
