Beware Amazon Prime members,  as there are more scammers using Prime now.

They send you a message saying your annual membership is going up,  and if you don't want to do this,  click on a 'Cancel' button.

Once you click, they get your account number and your details.

Here's a quote about it:

The fake emails claim your Amazon Prime subscription will automatically renew at an unexpected price (in the UK the service costs £95 a year or £8.99 a month).

The messages sometimes include personal information gleaned from other sources in an attempt to appear legitimate. They may also include a "cancel subscription" button that clicks through to a fake Amazon login page.

One way to avoid using scam websites that requires little thought is to use a password manager. They will only log you in on sites that have the correct domain name. They also lets you use a unique complex password on every website so should one get hacked it won't give away any other logins.

  Fortunately I am not a (curious) person so it was ignored like so many other emails..
