I am a seller on Ebay and get requests all the time for me to update my detils bothm from Ebay and Paypal, but today I have received one from Amazon saying tht they are introducing a new account veritifcation procedure and asking me to click on a link to update my details.
I assume this is a spoof mail so haven't done anything with it, anyone out there had a similar mail ?

If you are ever concerned that an email might be real (although they all seem to be spam) ignore the link, but go to the website and log in as normal. If they do want you to update your details there will probably be something on the site about it.0
