-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Amazon by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Amazon 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/flex-sign-in/ ".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Amazon URL.
