Fake Amazon order confirmation emails

Fake order emails try to panic you with a purchase you did not make, then push you to call a fake support number or click a credential-stealing link.

Short answer

Never trust the phone number or link inside a surprise order email. Open the official app or website directly.

How to use this page

Verify exact details

Compare the exact domain, sender, seller name, and checkout URL. Small spelling changes matter.

Look for clusters

One warning sign can be innocent. Several together are what make a page risky.

Do not rush payment

If the page pressures you to pay now, step away and check through an official source first.

Warning signs

Unexpected order confirmation for an expensive item

Sender address contains misspellings or extra words

Email asks you to call support immediately

Links lead to a login page outside the official domain

What to do next

  1. 1

    Open Amazon directly instead of using the email link.

  2. 2

    Check your real order history.

  3. 3

    Report the email as phishing.

  4. 4

    Use ShopSherpa's phishing shield when it launches for inbox warnings.
