Amazon has introduced a new Alexa feature in the U.S. that lets consumers verify if emails, texts, or calls claiming to be from Amazon are genuine. This tool aims to combat impersonation scams, which are a leading cause of consumer fraud losses, by checking messages against Amazon's official communications and providing real-time verification.
