Amazon.com Scams Report Page

If you receive an e-mail which looks like this, it's NOT from Amazon.com. It is in fact a scam designed to steal your personal information. You should Delete it and not open/read it.

I'd like to take this opportunity to appeal to the users who report fraudulent, scam & Phishing e-mails here, as well as the owners/officers of the targeted companies/Institutions listed in this site.

Alot of work goes into collecting, identifying the fraud sites, sharing them with the security/privacy community to assist in making up-to-date protection available for everyone.  Most of all reporting the fraud sites to the ISP's who host them in a genuine effort to get the resource closed as quickly as possible. 

In all the years I have performed this service for the internet public on my own, not once has a person, company or financial institution step up and offer any monetary 'thanks' for efforts to save them or their customers the embarrassment of being defrauded. Today, I'd like to offer that opportunity to anyone who would like to show their appreciation.

Regardless of this message's impact on you, rest assured that I will continue to seek out and shut down these fraudulent sites.

In addition this page serves as a resource to report suspected fraudulent e-mails/websites targeting this company/institution.
