That's difficult though Petra when you have a DD for Prime going out each month

I know it’s something that you would have to keep your eye on but your DD will go out the same date every month so if you really want to delete your card after use put a reminder on your phone or Alexa if you have one.

Thank you for sharing..not heard of this one. And Petra for the info about removing payment details after each purchase which l have just done

To be completely safe on Amazon you can delete your card after every purchase. Then obviously no one can scam your card.

I'm always getting phone calls from Amazon which I ignore. Strangely enough haven't had one recently.

I have been getting various messages purporting to be from Amazon and Amazon Prime for a while but only I got this new one recently. I know they are fake because I don't have an account on Amazon or Amazon Prime.

I believe you should check your account on their website if you get suspicious messages.

I couldn't see this on the site so I am flagging it up. A scam email telling you the price of Prime is going up etc and to click the link. Be alert. I think it has been mentioned on news channels and TV.
