Are business fraud alerts a part of the scam? Sometimes consumers receive texts or emails from what appear to be legitimate organizations, but in fact are fraudsters trying to bait your personal information! Remember that businesses like banks who call directly asking to provide sensitive information, like your social security number, are often scammers! Consumers can be reassured, however, that large corporations like Amazon are taking action to prevent fraud.
