The Better Business Bureau warns of scammers sending fake Macy’s delivery phishing emails.
Macy's has reported that there is a fake phishing email making the rounds reporting itself as a delivery notice for a non-existent order.
The email comes with a message similar to "Macys.com Order #5698 ready for delivery," according to the BBB's scam alert.
The email contains no mention of the fake delivery, but instead reads that the victim has won a "monthly" prize and directs the victim to click on a link to find out how to collect the prize. The prize is a malicious link.
There is no monthly give-away and the BBB said the links in similar scam emails have been used to steal user information or infect them with malware.
