How to Protect Yourself From Scams

Whenever large settlements are announced, scammers follow closely behind. Unfortunately, the Amazon refund program is no exception.

Here’s how to stay safe:

• You will never be asked to pay a fee to receive your refund.
• The FTC and Amazon will never call or text asking for your Social Security number or banking details.
• Anyone offering to “speed up” or “guarantee” your refund in exchange for money is trying to scam you.

Legitimate communication will direct you only to the official settlement website and will never pressure you to act immediately with payment or sensitive personal information.

If something feels suspicious, trust your instincts and don’t respond.
