Updated March 2023 Additional Photos Below  This blog post is about an Amazon E-mail Scam regarding Locked Account. **This post has pictures of both Invalid   and Valid E-mails from Amazon.** In-valid photos are at the top. Valid photos are at the bottom. In this post I will point out the red flags about this email proving that this is a scam and not from Amazon. The e-mail subject header starts out stating " About: We've locked your access as a security precaution. " One would be concerned about this because we use Amazon daily and have our credit cards and other personal and financial information stored on the website. The email does look professional. There is a proper body, footer, Amazon logo and format. There is even a provided link for you to click to resolve the issue towards the bottom.

The Inheritance Email Scam

This post involves an e-mail scam regarding an inheritance topic and for someone to claim a large some of money ($8,500,000)??!!  It has many screenshots to scroll through. It seems to follow a timeline of events or communications between different people that are addressed to the recipient.  If you look closely the people seem to have Asian and British/English names in the United Kingdom area. Likely from fictitious people.  There are multiple names, what seems to be generic forms and information, Money Gram is involved to receive lump sum payments and at the end there are 3 forms to download. Whats interesting about the Money Gram is that in one section of the email it asks the recipient of the email to send a payment for the supposed inheritance??  The forms are probably used to download a virus. I would argue if someone where to reply back or follow through with attempting to receive this " inheritance " that they would take control of their bank account. See the...
