Scam alert! Don't click on links in suspicious texts

The texts mention vague safety issues and use links that look almost like real Amazon URLs, but they're traps for your personal data.
If you get one, don't click; just log into your Amazon account and check the Message Center or Recalls section for real updates.
If you're in the US report sketchy texts by forwarding them to 7726 (SPAM).
