PEOPLE are being urged to beware fake emails offering rewards from Amazon.

Action Fraud say they have received hundreds of reports of the scam in the past week.

A spokesman said: "Have you received one of these FAKE Amazon emails offering you “exclusive rewards”?

"We've received 220 reports in just one week.

"The emails claim to offer an "exclusive reward" if the recipient completes an online survey within an hour.

"Don’t take the bait. The links lead to genuine-looking phishing websites that are designed to steal your Amazon password, personal and financial information."
