Unusual login attempts may have been initiated
Amazon.com
The email entitled "Unusual login attempts may have been initiated" claiming to be from Amazon.com 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 Customer,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your account
from a foreign IP address.
If you accessed your account while travelling, the unusual login
attempts may have been initiated by you.
However, if you did not initiate the logins, please visit http://www.amazon.com
as soon as possible to verify your identity.
This is a security measure that will ensure that you are the only
person who can access your Amazon account.
Thank you for your patience as we work together to protect your
account.
To get started, please click the link below and login to your
account:

Amazon Inc.
