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 hidden by a hyperlinked image in the body of the email. This is a technique used to get past spam filters that can only read normal text.
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Amazon URL.

"Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, Amazon.com is requesting a new account verification procedure."

Dear Customer,
-Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, Amazon.com is requesting a new account verification procedure. From time to time, randomly selected accounts (seller and/or buyer)are placed under an advanced updating process based on merchant accounts/bank relationsand on-file credit cards. Amazon.com may also request in an email message scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card/bank account has expired, or if you have changed/replaced your credit card without letting us know about the change.
-Your account is not suspended, but if in 36 hours after you receive this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to terminate your Amazon subscription.
-If you received this notice and you are not an authorized Amazon account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of Amazon policy to represent oneself as an Amazon user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law.

-We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you and we would like to thank you for your cooperation as we review this matter.
Respectfully,
