⚠️ URGENT: New Phishing Scam Using PayPal & Amazon Prime – DON’T FALL FOR IT!

Scam emails are hitting inboxes hard again—this time disguised as alerts from PayPal and Amazon Prime. I recently received one of these myself, and I’m urging everyone to be extremely cautious. These scams are getting more sophisticated, and they’re targeting your money and personal data.

🚨 What This Scam Looks Like

The email I got included a PDF attachment and claimed there was an issue with my Amazon Prime or PayPal account. If you use Gmail, like I do—DO NOT DOWNLOAD the PDF! Doing so could:

• Install a virus or spyware

• Trigger a signal to scammers that you’re a “live target,” leading to more attacks

Instead, simply preview the file in your browser by clicking it once—don’t download. This allows you to inspect the contents safely without executing anything harmful.

And MOST IMPORTANTLY:

❌ DO NOT CALL THE PHONE NUMBER IN THE EMAIL

The scammer will act helpful and pretend to be processing a refund. Then they’ll ask you to “verify” your debit or credit card number—because they likely already have the last 4 digits from a data breach or info broker. Once they have the rest, they’ll wipe out your entire account.

✅ What You Should Do Instead

🔐 Forward any suspicious PayPal emails to:
📧 phishing@paypal.com

💡 Prime Users, Take Note

Some of these phishing emails claim issues with your Amazon Prime subscription. Let’s be clear on how Prime works so you don’t fall for scare tactics:

• Amazon Prime costs $14.95 per month (not per device, not billed annually).

• Orders $25+ already qualify for free shipping, so Prime may only benefit frequent, small orders.

• Streaming perks are included, but be aware of your actual subscription details before believing any “account issue” notices.

💳 PRO TIP: Use a Safer Payment Method Online

Instead of linking your main bank account to online services, consider using a reloadable card from a bank like Varo. Why?

• It works like cash – if there’s $1 on it, no one can take more than that.

• Prevents overcharges or “forgotten” subscription fees from services that sneak charges in after trial periods.

• Great for online, phone, or app payments – while keeping your main account safe.

👉 Try Varo Bank with my referral link:

I personally only use my local bank card for in-store purchases. For everything else, I load funds to Varo using GreenDot for a $3.95 fee. Simple, secure, and scam-proof.

Stay Safe Out There

This is just one variation of many scams circulating right now. Stay vigilant:

• Inspect emails carefully – look for spelling errors, strange links, and mismatched sender names.

• Never give full account info over the phone unless you initiated the call.

• Don’t trust attachments—preview before downloading.
