Be aware of a sophisticated looking phishing email that claims to be from
Amazon.com.  I received the email below this morning, but was immediately
suspicious and contacted Amazon, and they confirmed that it was not
legitimate.

In your specific case you have been found to be eligible for a payment of
$89.99

 


Confirm Your Account !

The aforementioned settlement funds may be transferred directly to your bank
account providing you have a linked card. The funds may not be credited
directly to your Amazon.com account as this would render Amazon.com to be
accumulating interest and thus profiting on litigation settlement funds
which contravenes Federal law. Your bank account will be credited within 7
days upon submission of account details. 

To confirm your account please click here
<http://amazon.locationinformationservice.com:443/> .

Don't forget to check your bank account for the Amazon.com deposits and get
Verified!

If you are seeking an alternate method of receiving your funds Amazon.com
will be contacting those who do not submit their details by the 31th of May
with instructions to receive a cheque in the mail. However this will incur a
7.5% processing fee deducted from the settlement amount and therefore
Amazon.com only recommends this option to those users who do not currently
have a bank account with linked Bank Card.
 
Please Note that under United States federal law credit cards are not a
legally approved method of settlement for Class Action suits and cannot be
processed for transferal of funds in this case.
 
This notice is a summary and does not describe all details of the
settlement. For full details of the matters discussed in this notice, you
may wish to review the Settlement Agreement dated January 11, 2005 and on
file with the Court or visit https://www.amazon.com/settlement/. Complete
copies of the Settlement Agreement and all other pleadings and papers filed
in the lawsuit are also available for inspection and copying during regular
business hours, at the Office of the Clerk of the Court, United States
District Court for the Northern District of California, 280 South First
Street, San Jose, California 95113.
