Amazon Prime Day alert as shoppers warned of scam emails ahead of major sale
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Amazon shoppers are bracing themselves for a big week ahead as the online retail behemoth is set to launch another of its massive Prime Day sale events. Starting from tomorrow, July 8, customers can expect a deluge of discounts across a range of categories including beauty, food, tech and more. However, Amazon users are being urged to stay vigilant. To avail of these deals, you'll need a Prime account and Amazon is cautioning all subscribers of this premium service to be on high alert. The company has recently dispatched emails in response to a significant surge in Prime scams that could leave users seriously out of pocket, reports the Irish Mirror. "We've recently noticed an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscriptions," confirmed Amazon. "We want to help you stay protected by sharing important information about these scams." If you're a Prime member and receive a message in your inbox, it's crucial to take a moment to verify it. One particularly alarming scam currently circulating suggests that Prime accounts need to be renewed, with users then being asked to pay more. Scammers have disseminated the counterfeit email in the hope that customers will be so irked by the Prime price hike they click the "cancel" button embedded within the message. "Do not click on any links in these messages," Amazon cautioned. "Scammers use fake websites to steal your Amazon login credentials and banking information." If you get a dodgy message about changes to your Prime account, don't panic – just log on to or the app and check out the "Prime" section. It's easy to see your membership status, renewal dates, and plan details there. Keep an eye on your bank statements for any weird charges and give your bank a shout straight away if you spot any transactions you didn't authorise. Amazon's top advice is to always jump onto their site directly through the mobile app or by typing into your web browser. Amazon always sends a copy of any emails to your Message Centre in your account, so you can double-check the legit ones there under "Your Account". To keep your Amazon account extra secure, why not turn on two-step verification in the Login and Security settings, or take a trip to That way, no one's getting into your account without a code.

Apple fans rush for €65 off AirPods Pro 2 as Amazon Prime Day kicks off
Amazon's Prime Week is here - and for Apple fans wanting to snap up a deal, the AirPods Pro 2 are up for grabs for a bargain price. But shoppers might want to be quick. Yes, one of the most popular Apple earbuds are currently on offer for €199 on - €66.37 cheaper than their regular price of €265.37 - a deal exclusively available to Prime members. As one of the biggest shopping weeks gets underway, Amazon users can avail of an 11 per cent discount compared to the lowest price in the last 30 days. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the best-in-class noise-cancelling earbuds on the market - perfect for busy commutes, travelling, or just zoning out all the background noise, reports The Mirror. The Pro 2s also have the new H2 chip, which helps to create deeply immersive sound. The low-distortion, custom-built driver delivers crisp, clear high notes and full, rich bass in stunning definition. Voice Isolation improves the quality of phone calls in loud conditions. It also cuts out more background noise to protect your hearing. The AirPods can even be used to check your hearing, following a free update introduced in February this year. The Hearing Aid feature includes a clinically-validated hearing test and a hearing profile that applies to all the music and podcasts you listen to. But there are plenty of alternatives on the market to choose from, both discounted in Amazon's biggest sale of the year and elsewhere. The JBL Tune Beam Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds in black are available at Currys for €59.99 and provide noise cancelling at a much cheaper price as well as 12 hours of battery life. Meanwhile, on Amazon, Soundcore by Anker P20i wireless earbuds are available for under €20 for Prime members, having been reduced to just €18.90. The budget model has an average of 4.4 stars out of 5 from more than 65,000 reviews. But for shoppers with their heart set on an Apple bargain, there's also the AirPods 4, which are currently €129 on Amazon - Apple's cheaper but more recently updated earbuds - although they have no noise cancellation built-in. Our tech reviewers over at the Daily Express reviewed the Apple AirPods Pro 2 when they were released - and they got the top score thanks to the amazing sound and noise cancellation. Tech editor Dave Snelling said: "AirPods Pro 2 arrive with superior noise cancellation, better sound quality, longer battery life, and a new way to find them when they (inevitably) disappear down the side of your sofa. Apple has also added the ability to control volume from the stem of each AirPod, which saves you the hassle of reaching for your iPhone when you want to pump the bass. "Elsewhere, AirPods Pro 2 – also known as "2nd Generation" – can be recharged using an Apple Watch charger (as well as Lightning cable, and standard Qi wireless charging) and can be used with a lanyard loop to attach to your belongings. "We've been wearing the new AirPods Pro 2 on our daily commute, and they sound very impressive. Sound is rich, plus the improved Active Noise-Cancellation (ANC) cuts out almost all annoying background noise, so you won't have to have your favourite album, audiobook or podcast cranked up to 11 to hear it on the train. We were already huge fans of the original AirPods Pro, and this latest refresh only makes things better." However, one of his biggest problems was the price of the earbuds and, while the €199 price for Prime Day provides a solid discount on the usual price, for many they remain a big investment. He added at the time: "At £249 (€289), Apple's wireless 'buds are ludicrously expensive and it's a shame Apple still refuses to introduce some much-needed colour – AirPods Pro are only available in plain white. Unlike some other wireless earbuds, there's no EQ in the settings so you won't be able to adjust the audio to suit your tastes." The Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds are available to Prime Members on Amazon Prime Day for €199.

'Do not click' warning for Amazon bargain hunters as Prime Day deals begin
There's a big week ahead for Amazon shoppers with the online retail giant launching another of its huge Prime Day sale events. The discounts will start dropping from tomorrow, July 8, and will include a swathe of price cuts across beauty, food, tech and more. It's great time to go shopping but Amazon users will need to beware, reports The Mirror. To get those deals, you'll need a Prime account and Amazon is warning anyone who subscribes to this premium service to stay alert. In fact, the company has just sent out emails after seeing a huge spike in Prime scams that can leave users seriously out of pocket. "We've recently noticed an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscriptions," Amazon confirmed. "We want to help you stay protected by sharing important information about these scams." If you have Prime and get a message in your inbox, make sure you take time to check it. One scary scam currently landing in inboxes suggests that Prime accounts need to be renewed, with users then being asked to pay more. Scammers have released the fake email in the hope that customers will be so annoyed by the Prime price hike they click the "cancel" button embedded within the message. "Do not click on any links in these messages," Amazon warned. "Scammers use fake websites to steal your Amazon login credentials and banking information." Anyone who gets a message claiming that their Prime account is changing must head straight to Amazon's website or app and simply check the "Prime" option. Here, it's easy to view the membership status, renewal dates, and plan details. If you think you have already clicked on any suspicious links, you must monitor your credit/debit card statements for unfamiliar charges and contact the bank immediately about any unauthorised transactions. Other top tips from the company include always accessing Amazon directly through its mobile app or by typing into a browser. One final thing to remember is that Amazon always duplicates any messages sent out via email. That means users can head to their accounts and visit the Message Centre. This can be found under the "Your Account" option. Here, it's possible to see legitimate messages from Amazon and makes sure things in the email inbox match up. It's also a good idea to enable two-step verification for your Amazon account through the Login and Security settings or visit This means nobody can access your account without getting a code first.
