Number overview

070-2169-7473 is a phone number used in a phishing scam that impersonates Amazon by sending fake SMS messages reading, "An unusual transaction has been detected. Verify your account."

Reported tactics

  • The SMS reads, "[Amazon.co.jp] An unusual transaction has been detected. Verify your account"
  • Tapping the link in the SMS leads to a fake Amazon login page
  • The fake site prompts you to enter your Amazon login, credit-card information, and address
  • Sending from a 070 number (PHS/mobile) makes it look like a private contact

Amazon does not ask you to verify your account by SMS or enter login information at a linked URL. Genuine notices appear in the Amazon app or in the message center on the official website.

How to handle this

Don't open the SMS link

Never tap a link in an SMS claiming to be from Amazon. Delete the message.

To check your Amazon account status

Open the official Amazon app or the official website (amazon.co.jp) directly. Never access through the SMS link.

Where to report or get help

  • Amazon Customer Service: contact through "Customer Service" inside the Amazon app
  • Council of Anti-Phishing Japan: info@antiphishing.jp
  • Police consultation line: #9110
