Consumer Reports is warning of a new type of scam, fake product recall notices. These scams target consumers of potentially unsafe products such as kitchen appliances, baby products, and child car seats. Taylor Frost Smith, a mom of three, received a text claiming to be an Amazon Product Recall Notice for an item she bought in December. Instead of clicking on the link, Smith went directly to the Amazon app and asked the retailer's AI tool, Rufus, if there was a recall. Amazon confirmed there was no recall and told her that she received a phishing scam. The report also revealed that text message scam attempts have increased by 50% in the past year.
