| Possible Amazon Email Scam
Hello:
This may have been posted, but I wanted to alert people to a possible scam a client received. The text of the email is as follows:
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 authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of Amazon policy to represent oneself as another Amazon user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. Amazon is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
To confirm your identity with us click here:
»https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/flex-···ure.html (DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK - NyQuil Kid)
After responding to the message, we ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated. Emailing us before that time will result in delays. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you and we would like to thank you for your cooperation as we review this matter.
The real URL is the following, which is obvious that it isn't a real Amazon site:
secure.amazon.com.exec-login-users-ro1.com/signin.php?exec/obidos/flex-sign-in/ref=gw_hp_si/103-3177084-7567864?opt=a&page=recs/sign-in-secure.html&response=tg/recs/recs-post-login-dispatch/-/recs/pd_rw_gw_ur/ref=192930_1/3-3&ref=rom1&emaddr=%20
Just wanted to provide a heads up!

Absolutely - had the client call Amazon directly, change their password and remove any credit card info that may have been saved to their Amazon account, while I reported the scam via that link you posted.
