I’ve got a serious warning, and wanted to tell you about it ASAP. Cybersecurity experts just uncovered a flood of more than 120,000 fake Amazon websites that just went live — and they’re targeting regular shoppers like us. This isn’t just a few sketchy links. We’re talking about a full-on wave of scam sites designed to look exactly like the real Amazon. They all popped up in the last TWO months.
It’s the big criminal push ahead of Prime Day. They know we’re all shopping deals, and they’re hitting us hard. They’re using real product images. Real buttons. Real shopping carts. But they’re not real — and one wrong click could hand over your login info, your credit card number, or even install malware on your device.
Here are a few fake Amazon URLs to look out for:
arnazon-deals.vip → (that’s an “R” instead of an “M”)
amaz0n-sale.com → (using a zero instead of the letter “O”)
amazom.com → (a simple typo that looks legit)
Over 92,000 of these scam sites are phishing pages trying to steal your password. Another 21,000 deliver malware, and over 11,000 are fake storefronts selling counterfeit goods.
How to Protect Yourself:
Only shop at amazon.com or the official Amazon app.
Never click Amazon links from emails or texts — go directly to the site or app.
Look closely at URLs — double check for small changes like swapped letters or weird domains like .vip, .shop, or .net
Drop a comment if you’ve been targeted by this — or any — Amazon scam.
These hackers are sneaky, but don’t worry. I’m staying ahead of them, and I’ve got your back. We’re in this together!
Talk soon,
Jeff
