Another Big Phish
Here is an example of another phishing email. This one is probably trying to get your Amazon user name and password. (If you have one.)
Warning: Whatever you do, do not ever clink on any link in any email warning of any dire consequences with any account. Period.
If you have any concerns, check your account by manually entering the correct address in your browser and check your account. OR, simply pick up the phone and give them a call.

This phish contains many errors including unusual grammar, that should be big red flags. Check the bottom of the email and note the spelling errors:
Amazon sent this e-mail to you because your Notification Preferences indicate that you want to receive information about Special Events & Promotions. Amazon will request personal data (password, credit card/bank numbers) only on our home site, wich is securely incrypted with SLL.
Also, view the source code of this HTML email and you will find that the link to “amazon.com” has been spoofed. It definitely does not go to Amazon, it goes to an anonymous IP address. (You may also be able to view the actual link in the lower status bar of you email program while “hovering” the mouse pointer over the link.)
If you get a similar email and wish to report to Amazon, go to amazon.com and look under Help > Privacy and Security > Identifying Phishing E-Mails and follow the directions.
