Amazon Prime Day is here. And, once again, experts are warning consumers of scams. Scams targeting online shoppers — often by impersonating companies like Amazon and other major retailers — are nothing new.
As with the last Prime Days, absolutely nothing on my wish list is discounted. It’s all just random-named crap they’re clearing out of their warehouses along with their own devices like Kindles.
