Ever wondered why you’re receiving urgent Amazon‑style charge alerts from an unknown number? These texts are classic phishing attempts that use a spoofed Amazon brand to create pressure and extract personal or payment data. Never reply, click a link, or provide credit‑card details until you confirm the order on the official Amazon website or app. Use your phone’s block feature, forward the message to 7726, and report the number to your carrier and to the FTC. Regularly review your account statements for unauthorized charges and enable two‑factor authentication for added protection.
