DANGER!! Fake amazon email.

[Mary Ellen]

I got a fake email that claimed to be from Amazon saying they had closed my account for violation of Amazon terms. That gets you flustered immediately since that account is vital. I was suspicious and did not click on anything but contacted Amazon via chat. The guy confirmed it was not from Amazon and my account was secure. I reported it to Amazon but just giving a heads up to the rest of you, in case you get something similar... it is bogus!

Wow. Thanks for the heads up

Wow scary! Glad it was fake!

[Erica]

Wow! Thank you for letting us know!

Thank you, Mary Ellen

Ugh, I get a number of them each week from places I've never had an account with, but that must have been nerve wracking.

Also it's worth noting that if Amazon and Createspace write you it will have your name within the e-mail. In many fake Amazon e-mails it will say "Dear Customer" which of course implies it's a scam.

Good point, Justin. I did not think of that.
