Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I've been getting a bunch of emails that appear to come from Amazon, but they are phishing attempts. Even loading the email with images may tip them off that they have a 'live' email address. Use caution.
They look good, they actually load some images from the amazon site (I looked at the source code), but everything I get from Amazon includes my account name, these don't (just the email address).
I got one earlier that looks like an order fulfillment notice, and today one asking me to log on to update my account info - an obvious phishing attempt. No notices when I log in direct to amazon.
So beware, these could easily fool someone, they aren't junky looking like most I've seen. And set your email so the default is to not load remote content (images) - then only hit the "load remote content" button after you are certain it is authentic.
