Hackers are using a clever social engineering trick which requires the victims to complete a "verification process", or else their account will be restricted. But when the user clicks the link to verify their account, they are redirected to a site that MIMICS Amazon (but is NOT Amazon).
The email starts with an "Important Notice" and you are required to "verify" your Amazon account by providing payment card information and security details. The email threatens that if you do not comply with the verification process, restrictions may be placed on your account.
What to do? Think Before You Click! The email is a scam to try to trick you into revealing your credit card information and more. If you see an email like this that has not been caught by any spam filter, delete it. Remember the rule: "If In Doubt, Throw It Out!"
