Fake Amazon Email Phishing Expedition

[Ringel05]

There's a fake Amazon email and texts going around, uses the Amazon font and colors. It claims your method of payment has been declined and you need to update your payment information. I haven't seen it myself but I assume there's a link provided by the scammers for you to "update" your payment info.
I would highly recommend you not do this unless you enjoy your credit card being maxed out or your bank account emptied.

the email addy usually gives them away.

In Amazon your accounts section has access to all actual Amazon emails like from sellers-always use your amazon account to access your email when even receiving something as simple as a seller rating request, because you never know, even a scam seller could be phishing for your log in pass by sending a fake email.

I really need to update now.

A twist on 'Your Amazon order has been shipped' e mail.
Just need to update your account crap.

Every online retailer down to your local street vendor... the transactions are instant.
Amazon would notify you of a declined payment instantly upon placing the order.
And Amazon, nor any major retailer, would send you an email asking for CC#s etc. - ever.
