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/your-account-reagain".
-
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 has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Amazon.com URL. Do not be fooled!

"Hello from Amazon.com."

Dear Costumer,
Hello from Amazon.com.
As a precaution, we've reset your Amazon.com password because you may
have been subject to a "phishing" scam.
Here's how phishing works:
A scam artist sends an e-mail, which is designed to look like it came
from a reputable company such as a bank, financial institution, or
retailer like Amazon.com, but is in fact a forgery. These e-mails
direct you to a web site that looks remarkably similar to the
reputable company's web site, where you are asked to provide account
information such as your e-mail address and password. Since that web
site is actually controlled by the phisher, they get the information
you entered.
Go to amazon.com/phish to read more about ways to protect yourself
from phishing.

Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com
Sincerely,
Amazon.com
Please note: this e-mail was sent from an address that cannot accept
incoming e-mail. To contact us about an unrelated issue, please visit
