Amazon has sent a notice to consumers and potential shoppers to be wary of scams ahead of the company’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
In an emailed notice earlier this week, the Seattle-based retail giant said that “during this time of year, we often see a surge in impersonation scams,” or when a scammer contacts a person by “pretending to be someone you trust to get sensitive information like social security numbers, bank information, or Amazon account details.”
