Comments:
  • 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/secure.html?gp/css/ account/forgot-password/forgotten-password- token.html?token=mjj12399cac813mc72341c%! ".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Amazon URL. Do not be fooled!
