Take Care Amazon Email

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Have received an email this morning purporting to be from Amazon stating that they are doing identity checks on people who have not used their accounts for over a month and asking me to open a link and sign into my account. It adds if I do not do this my account will be closed. As I have used it three times in the past week I was a bit wary and when I read the email fully the english is so bad as to be laughable. Needless to say I will not be doing as asked. Have to admit it looks quite genuine to start with but I would take care.

it would be economic suicide if amazon closed all the accounts that hadn't been used for a month!

Thanks for the warning BD.

It should have gone into your spam email anyway as most spam filters spot these.
Some spammers now get confused and send , say an amazon or lloyds bank email from what looks like an ebay or paypal address.
They never seem to know my name either

I got one yesterday about my lovefilm. Telling me they were unable to take my payment and was now overdue. I had previously told Amazon what was happening and they stated they would take 2 payments on my next payment date. It also claimed my details were not upto date, which they are.
So be wary of that too. Just incase
