confirm your account
Amazon
The email entitled "confirm your account" claiming to be from Amazon appears to be a phishing scam. Phishing e-mails are e-mails from scam
artists who use official looking webpages designed to trick you into
believing they are from a corporate website that you have an account with.
Once you are at
the site, they will ask you to
provide or verify personal information such as bank account information, credit
card information, social security information and password information. If
you get such an e-mail, you should delete it and do not provide any of the
requested information. However, if you are not convinced that you have a
fraudulent e-mail, please contact Amazon directly and explain the e-mail
you received. If you give out any personal information, contact Amazon immediately and depending on what information you gave out, it may be wise to
take measures to protect against identity theft (e.g. contact credit agencies,
close accounts, cleanse computer). Many e-mail
solicitations that
appear to be phishing e-mails are set forth throughout this website and
below:
Greetings from Amazon Payments ,
Your bank has contacted us regarding some attempts of charges from
your credit card via the Amazon system. We have reasons to believe that you
changed your registration information or that someone else has unauthorized
access to your Amazon account Due to recent activity, including possible
unauthorized listings placed on your account, we will require a second
confirmation of your identity with us in order to allow us to investigate
this matter further.
Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive
this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend
your Amazon registration. If you received this notice and you are not the
