  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Amazon.com by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Amazon.com never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "www.amazon.com/security-update".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual Amazon.com URL. Do not be fooled!
