⚠️ Amazon Sellers: Scammers Are Targeting You

Fake Amazon support reps are swarming social media, tricking sellers into giving up sensitive info.

Amazon reports a 33% spike in scams since December—and it’s getting worse. “Scammers monitor customer complaints and reply with fake accounts.” Their goal? Steal your login details, redirect you to shady links, or move you off-platform.

🚨 How to Protect Yourself:
✅ Never trust random “Amazon support” replies in your comments.
✅ Official Amazon reps NEVER ask for private messages or external links.
✅ Contact Amazon ONLY through Seller Central or the official app.

This isn’t just Amazon—it’s Facebook, email, even text messages. “I’ve seen tons of fake Meta support messages, all trying to get me to click links.”

And AI is making it worse. Bots create thousands of fake accounts per hour. One report says bad bots now make up nearly a third of all internet traffic.

🔍 Stay vigilant: Check email domains. Hover over links. If it doesn’t come from http://amazon.com, it’s a scam.
