Amazon Adds Scam‑Detection to Alexa for Shopping

Amazon has launched a new scam‑detection capability within its Alexa for Shopping service. The feature lets users confirm whether suspicious emails, text messages, or other communications truly originate from Amazon. By cross‑checking message content against Amazon’s own records, the system can flag potential phishing attempts or fraudulent offers. The update is part of Amazon’s broader effort to secure customer interactions and reduce the risk of fraud. Users can activate the check through the Alexa app or voice command, and the system will provide a quick verification result.
