Cyber Crime
I have just read in todays paper about crooks hacking people's Amazon 'Prime Now' services.
They are then ordering loads of expensive goods using the victim's stored payment details. They have asked for the 1 hour delivery slot, then all they do is lay in wait near the address and intercept the courier.
I don't know what they say to him to get him to hand over the parcels, but it works!
Customers are saying Amazon's customer services are useless at helping sort it out when they have phoned.
Action Fraud say:
Be very cautious with giving out personal info.
Restrict details on internet profiles such as Facebook.
If you move house, get Royal Mail Redirection for at least 1 year.
Make Passwords complex.
Beware, because scammers are also now calling the victims posing as officials!!
There were 6 MILLION frauds and cyber crimes committed in England & Wales during the last 12 months. This includes 1 million online shopping scams.
Isn't it depressing what these scumbags do.
