Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Amazon.com by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Amazon.com never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/account-access -login/ref=/index".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Amazon.com URL. Do not be fooled!

Dear Amazon Customer,
We regret to inform you that your Amazon account could be suspended because errors occurred during your personal profile verification process.
To avoid this suspension please click on the link and provide us with the information requested:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/acco unt-access-login/ref=/index
We will suspend your account for a period of 10 days if the provided information will be different from that we have stored in our database.
In that particular situation, your account will be again operational only after you mail us all your personal information for further investigations.
Per the User Agreement, Section 9, we may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you if we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us.
We may also take these actions if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide us.
Due to the possible suspension of this account, please be advised you are prohibited from using Amazon in any way.
This includes the registering of a new account.
