Scammers are gearing up for the holidays. Here's the latest one that might net a lot of people:
http://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/new-fake-amazon-email-scam-is-incredibly-easy-to-fall-for.html

quote:
Have you ordered anything from Amazon in the past couple of weeks? Are you planning to in the next couple? If either is true, you might easily be victimized by a real-looking email, supposedly from Amazon, explaining that there's a problem with your order and asking you to re-enter some information.

Whatever you do, don't comply.

Both Amazon Prime members and non-members are reporting receipt of a very legit-looking email with the subject line, "Your Amazon.com order cannot be shipped." It begins:

Hello,

There was a problem processing your order. You will not be able to access your account or place orders with us until we confirm your information. Click here to confirm your account.

It goes on to request that recipients not open any new accounts until the issue is resolved and read Amazon's terms and conditions if they have further questions.

If you click on the link in the email, it takes you to a very real looking "Amazon" page where you are invited to re-enter your name, address, and credit card information. Which, of course, the scammers will now have. Just to keep you unsuspicious, when you're done it will send you on to the real Amazon website
