Dear Amazon Member
The email below entitled "Dear Amazon Member" claiming to be from Amazon
and asking you to confirm account information 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:
Dear Amazon® member,
We are contacting you to inform you that our Account Review Team
identified some unusual activity in your account. In accordance with
Amazon's User Agreement and to ensure that your account has not been
compromised, access to your account was limited. Your account access will
remain limited until this issue has been resolved. To secure your account
and quickly restore full access, we may require some additional information
from you for the following reason: We have been notified that a card
associated with your account has been reported as lost or stolen, or that
there were additional problems with your card.
This process is mandatory, and if not completed within the nearest time your
account or credit card may be subject for temporary suspension.

We encourage you to log in and perform the steps necessary to restore
your account access as soon as possible. Allowing your account access to
remain limited for an extended period of time may result in further
limitations on the use of your account and possible account closure.

Amazon Security Center. We apologize for any incovenience this may cause,
and we apriciate your assistance in helping us to maintain the integrity of
the entire Amazon system.
