Amazon Account Locked Email Scam - Phishing for Your Identity

Phishing - The Amazon Account Locked Email Scam
Redirects to spoofed (Fake) website: http://citdsl.fix.netvision.net.il/login.html

You may have received an email like one of the samples below that looks very authentic, like they came from Amazon.com. These emails were not sent by Amazon.com; Amazon.com is a victim as well. If you receive an email similar to the one below, DO NOT click on the link, and do not enter any information on the forms there. You can see another example here. 

The website that the link leads to is a spoof; a fake website, not created by Amazon.com. It goes to https://me2.do/ not Amazon.com! When you enter the information they ask for, you will simply be handing the thieves the keys to your bank accounts.  That is how spoofing and phishing works.

Remember, no reputable business would send you an email requesting your personal account information. Any such email you receive asking for this information should be considered phony and brought to the attention of the business being 'phished'.

Anytime you need to go to a website for your bank, credit card companies or other personal, financial or confidential information; do not follow a link in an email; just type their address in your browser directly (such as www.Amazon.com. )

Below are actual phishing emails that started circulating in early 2007. We have put a warning over the links to the phisher's website.

Protect yourself

Do not unsubscribe: Never follow instructions contained in a forged email that claim to provide a method for unsubscribing. Many spammers use these unsubscribe processes to create a list of valid, working email addresses. Use the features in Seller Central to track your orders: The Sold, Ship Now email notification is a useful tool. However, you can find the most accurate and up-to-date information for your orders using the Manage Orders feature in your seller account.
If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is: Sometimes phisher emails will offer you deals, such as a discount or a free item, in return for completing a simple task, (for example, signing in to your seller account). We recommend that you never sign in to your seller account by clicking on a link embedded in email.

Do not:

• Call the telephone number.
• It might be a for-fee premium-line scam similar to a 900 number that could cost you money. Also, by calling, you are confirming that your telephone number is real and you are a potential idiot, meaning you will get many more scam calls in the future.
• Click on any links in the email.
  You may be installing malware. And by clicking on the links, you confirm that your email address is active and being read. you will see a big increase in future scam emails.
• Reply to the email. Again, you will just be confirming that your email address is real. Just delete the email.
