Latest Scam Alert

Dear Resident,

Amazon scam text

A scam text claiming to be from Amazon tells you that you've been given a full refund following an 'investigation into a seller violating Amazon's policies.'

The text is sent from a random, likely spoofed, mobile number and includes a link to a convincing copycat Amazon page which was created in March this year.

This page asks for your Amazon login information, which will hand them over to a fraudster.

Scam texts can be reported by forwarding them to 7726.

Dodgy websites can be reported to the National Cyber Security Centre.

If you have been a victim of a scam, then report it to Action Fraud or by calling 03001232040, alternatively by calling Humberside Police via 101.

Regards,

Brigg NPT
