Amazon Prime Day will kick off on Monday with 48 hours of deals for tens of millions of consumers who are Amazon Prime members, but the surge in internet traffic is also likely to attract scammers looking to steal your data and payment card details.
“Consumers should proceed with caution,” Monique Becenti, product and channel specialist at SiteLock, said in a statement. “A marked discount shopping holiday means there is vast opportunity for cybercriminals to try to steal information.”
Here are four scams shoppers should be on the lookout for on this year’s Prime Day on July 15 and 16:
- Spoofed Sites
- Malicious Coupon Code Redirects
- Gift Card Scams
- Email Phishing Marketing Campaigns
