The attacks used fake order receipts and phone numbers in an attempt to steal credit card details from unsuspecting victims, says Armorblox.
A standard phishing campaign uses email to try to trick people into divulging confidential information.
In a report published Thursday, cybersecurity firm Armorblox looked at two recent vishing campaigns that spoofed Amazon as a way to capture credit card details.
The message spoofed the look and layout of an actual Amazon email and referenced an LG OLED TV and XBOX console allegedly bought by the recipient.
The real threat in the email was a "Contact Us" phone number in the body of the message.
Inspect the email's sender name, sender email address and language.
