It may be an email or a text with a link to verify your address due to inaccurate shipping information, your credit card information due to your card being declined, or to log into your account to approve a purchase. This is all information you’ve already given them when you placed your order, but now a scammer is using that information for their own benefit, not yours.
Avoid clicking on links from unsolicited texts. Go directly to a verified source for that company, such as logging directly into your account from their website or calling their customer service to verify that the information being requested is actually needed.
