Supposedly, the company is offering the discount to selected customers as a means of celebrating its 20th birthday. The message claims that the coupon is valid for any Amazon product.<\/p>\n<p>It instructs you to click a link to get your coupon code.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is not from Amazon and you have not won a discount coupon as claimed.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the message is a phishing scam designed to steal your personal and financial information. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> If you click on the &#8216;coupon code&#8217; link in the email, you will be taken to a fake website designed to look like a real Amazon login page. After you log in on the fake page with your Amazon account credentials, you may be taken to a second fake page that asks for your credit card details and other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>But, alas, once you have submitted the requested information, it will be sent to the cybercriminals running the phishing campaign. The criminals can then access your Amazon account and use it to conduct fraudulent transactions in your name. They can also use your credit card to commit further fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Scammers \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scam-amazon-integrity-check-email\/\">regularly target<\/a> \u00a0Amazon customers.
