New Amazon.com & Facebook phishing scams

I have been getting cancellation notices from my "hotmail" for over a year. I always enjoy reading the absolutely odd English they employ trying to convey their point. It is such a giveaway to the phishing, even when they have the correct logos, etc. I've also gotten them for my credit cards. For those I call my 800 numbers about and forward the email to their "scam department" if requested. can't be too careful these days!

Yep, those emails are in our inbox daily. Has anyone been having trouble with yahoo? Strange things are happening there, too - like in the middle of reading my inbox, a huge ad fills the screen and there is no way to get it off,,,there is no way that I can contact yahoo directly that THEY WILL RESPOND!! It seems like EVERYTHING is going nuts!!

Like the bank phishing emails, you get some from banks you don't do business with. But if they send them out to 100,000 emails, they will get some people who DO use that bank. Shotgun approach.

If the subject is Amazon.com, that doesn't mean they sent it. Never click on those. Write an e-mail to them yourself and tell them what you got. Lots of people try to send very "official" looking e-mails from different companies. I have been getting e-mails from my dead niece for two years, starting the day after we buried her. Someone stole her e-mail address book. Such a shame how nasty some people can be.
