The Federal Trade Commission is warning people about fake texts involving Amazon that claim an item purchased has been recalled, including a link for a full refund.
After the victim informed the account she knew he was scamming her, he reportedly threatened to expose explicit pictures she'd sent him if she didn't forward him $10,000.
The scam led to ATMs across New York City being depleted of $17 million over just three days, with fraudulent activities mainly targeting the Summer Youth Employment Program participants.
