Amazon Account Phishing Scam

Just a word of warning, there's a scam email going around at the moment asking you to confirm your Amazon account. Please don't follow the links in this email as they will result in your account details being stolen.

RE: Amazon Account Phishing Scam

I get a lot of these, mostly 'from' banks. It's depressing to think enough of them work on the innocent to make it worth while for the con men to keep sending them.

I haven't had any Amazon scams, but get plenty of the bank ones. I wish I had enough money to have accounts with all the banks I am meant to, I would be very wealthy if I did! Smile

This is what they look like by the way. Not at all professional and the translation is laughable.

RE: Amazon Account Phishing Scam

Can somebody clarify what ''.. and the present of chess more talent before the connection...'' means?

Like most others I get some emails for a multitude of bank accounts I don't have, a facebook account I don't have, not had a Scam-azon one yet though.
The written english in a lot of these emails is a sure-fire give away though.
