Amazon Prime Email Scam

[DALEPQ]

Recently received an Email that looked very "Official" from Amazon about my offer for
a free trial of Amazon Prime.
At first started to fill in basic name, address info. as requested, then it asked for Birth Date and Social Security #.
Oh, Oh, stopped there and closed it out.
Then went directly to Amazon account and nothing like that was listed.
Then looked much closer a Scam Email and saw the origin info., for sure it is a Scam!!
Just sending as an F.Y.I., make sure to verify before providing info.
The Robo Calls and Scam Emails just seem to keep increasing!!!

Dunno about your email client - but mine lets me hover my mouse pointer over the sender and the full address of the sender is revealed. Can pick up scam emails quickly without opening message which can confirm your valid email address to be used by future scammers!

Got a phone call yesterday about my supposed $ 400 purchase and wanted me to verify my account.

Other than the account is in my wifes name all was genuine. Not.
