Seems legit to me.....
.... but then again maybe not.
I love the way they have contacted me on an email account that's not linked to Amazon along with the high quality logos. |

I refuse to deal with Amazon. They have cloned my credit card twice.

Saw a programme about a small mobile phone business that was targeted with fake reviews. The owner tracked the perpetrator to an Indian call centre. She just informed him that she was paid to place fake reviews and couldn't help, unless of course he paid her £100 per fake review to remove the fake reviews (she had already been paid to place about his business). These big internet companies will lose many more customers if they can't police what they are responsible for. Getting harder to tell fact from fiction as the scammers get more sophisticated and are aided and abetted by so many software companies just responding to the highest bidder without any concern for the morality of what they're doing and the tragic consequences for the victims.

I don't have an Amazon account, but my wife does, and everyday for the last three days we have had Amazon parcels delivered to our correct postal address but in a different name (the same name for each parcel).
The first thing I asked my wife to do was to check her account to see if any items had been charged to her, which thankfully they had not, then I suggested she change her password. I have a feeling that somehow her address has been nabbed and used along with some poor unsuspecting Amazon account holder's name to create a false account in order for a seller to send out items which once tracked and delivered can have a review written about them (by the seller himself) this practice is known as Brushing I have discovered. So far we haven't opened any of the packages and indeed managed to catch the Amazon delivery driver on the second time of delivering and told him that nobody with that name lives at our address and for him to take them back. He did, but the next day when the third parcel was delivered, the other two came back with it |

We've been getting those Amazon Prime 'Phishing' phone calls for the last 3-4 weeks via an automated telephone call claiming that we have opened an Amazon Prime account (No we haven't) and that they should "press one" to cancel the transaction. Yeah right I'm going to press that.
