With this year's Amazon Prime Day set for June 21-22, scammers are already touting "Early Prime Day Deals," says Bolster.

Amazon Prime Day represents an opportunity for consumers to find deals and save money on their favorite products.

When rumors of an October Prime Day started to surface last summer, Bolster noticed a rise in Prime Day phishing and scam websites-a 110% increase in August and another 153% gain in September.

One type of new Amazon scam site already detected by Bolster has been promoting "Early Prime Day Deals" just like the real Amazon site has done.

Another type of site prompts shoppers to set up an Amazon wallet as a promotion to cash in on all the Prime Day deals.
