Place or Update Credit Card on File

Dear Amazon Customer ,

This is your final warning about the safety of your Amazon account. If you do not update your billing informations your access on Amazon features will be restricted and the user deleted. This might be due to either following reasons:

- A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address)
- Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
- An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due an internal error within
our processors.

Please update your Amazon profile in order to restore your online access:

If your account information is not updated, your ability to use your Amazon account will become restricted.

Thank you,
Amazon Billing Department

    Just because you had heard of it doesn't mean that it wasn't worth posting. Obviously others have felt that same as they have thanked Just Jo for this.

    It is always worth posting if you have heard of a scam, IMHO. Better to warn people as not everybody realises.
