I received an Amazon Prime $10 credit email, is it a scam?
So just 30 minutes ago, I was looking through some emails that ended up in my scam, and as usual there are amazon emails with recommendations based on past purchases and stuff like that. Then there is this new email asking that if I were to upload a photo to Amazon Photos I may be eligible for $10 in amazon credit. So in a moment of weakness I uploaded a photo and so on. Then I realised that this may have been a scam. I look through the email and I only find the link Amazon.com. This potentially scam email came from store-news@amazon.com. According to amazon, links ending with "@amazon.com" are real, however some people on Facebook claim it to be a scam. After uploading a photo I got an email that did not end up In my spam folder from no-reply@amazon.com. I got on a live chat and the first person I spoke to said that it was a scam, and that amazon does not offer such credit. He put me on with someone in the appropriate department and she said that it was not a scam. Can you confirm if this is indeed a scam?
Regarding the Amazon prime $10 credit email, Some Scammers are actually addressing the actual 'senders address' as CC, so your email program actually displays the CC instead of the senders-address. So you may need to click on the Addresses-Bar to see the sender (or post a photo of the sender?) - scammers got a little more tricky these days. It's actually more important on which address you entered your personal data. But if you enabled two-factor and changed every account associated with this password (maybe you used the same password for your email account?!) - then you should be safe by now.
