Same. Three emails. There is a disclaimer in the emails:<p>Note: This email was sent to you by Synchrony Bank, the issuer of your AMAZON CREDITBUILDER Account.

I just spoke to someone at Amazon, and Synchrony Bank has learned of this and told Amazon about the issue. It is 100% fraud and both companies are working on it. In the meantime, I&#x27;d manually go to the synchrony website (they manage a large amount of store accounts like Victoria&#x27;s Secret and New York &amp; Company.. I think also Old Navy) for any account access, login, payment. Don&#x27;t click any email links right now. They&#x27;re likely trying to steal account info during the black Friday rush.

I got the same exact email and was freaking out thinking that my sister had probably tried to use my info to open acct or someone else cause I don&#x27;t have a acct at Synchrony Bank or with Amazon Credit builder so I&#x27;m relieved to see that it&#x27;s just another stupid email phishing scam. Glad I didn&#x27;t call sister and Accuse her before I saw your posts, lol. Thanks for the post

Same here, this afternoon. All three emails. Tried accessing the synchrony website. I can access some parts of the website but accounts refuse to load. Called customer service, it just rings and rings. I&#x27;m sure my credit is not compromised due to my credit been frozen to avoid such things. No way they have that information for those curious if this spam got any further.

I just got the same thing. Three emails so far: 1) A Trial Deposit Has Been Successfully Made to Your [blank info] 2) A Trial Deposit Has Been Successfully Made to Your AMAZON CREDITBUILDER 3) Action required on your application<p>The third email was completely blank.<p>From is: Synchrony Bank • customer.service@mail.synchronybank.com<p>Reply To is: Synchrony Bank • donotreply@synchronyfinancial.com

I just received 3 emails regarding a trial deposit and action required on my application yet I haven&#x27;t applied for anything. The emails are questionable from the start as there is no information other than a note claiming it was sent by Amazon CreditBuilder and Synchrony Bank and that it is an unmonitored email so do not reply.

Same here all 3. Business Insider has already posted an article about it, but no new info yet. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;email-citing-synchrony-amazon-sparks-fraud-concerns-2019-11" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;email-citing-synchrony-amazo...</a>

I too received 3 emails. Exact same info, but also today received a letter in the mail from synch saying I changed my address but came to my home address, so I wonder if it is an inside job. Calling tomorrow to make sure. Closed now.

I got them too. Plus a 3rd one that just says &quot;Action Required On Your Account.&quot; Tried calling &amp; chatting w&#x2F; Synchrony customer service but the calls just ring then end after 4 rings &amp; chat service is down.

I got three of them as well. Just today. Reporting them as spam.

DITTO TO ALL! Thank goodness somebody posted this here!
