Thats good Baz, I get the same thing with ebay or paypal all the time. They have a spoof mail to forward it to.

Thanks darlene. It wasn't meant to be a plug for Amazon but as a generic tutorial on phishing. Substitute just about any big company name for Amazon (as you mention eBay and PayPal) and the advice will usually be the same.

Just a reminder, really. Bazza
