Wasn't it Amazon where we all had to reset our passwords last month? If it was and the poster hasn't used the site and done that voluntarily, they may have forced a reset.

PS - I entered in chrome and didn't get the message in the post immediately above.

I think it was e-bay and quite a few others but not Amazon.

Looks genuine to me. Here's the Facebook comp post relating to it

That is the link I entered from as I have also "liked" the post. Must just be coincidence but very strange indeed.

FB Link was from the Verified Amazon UK Page so I'm trusting it Looks fine to me.

Only just seen the hoo-ha in here and not really sure why there's such a fuss. If you click on the comp link I posted it goes to http://www.amazon.co.uk/ (which is Amazon's website address; I could understand if it went to http://www.amazzon.co.uk or similar)so not really sure why people are not thinking this is not a genuine Amazon comp.

I entered then read all the scary posts. Had a little panic and followed the link again. As you say, it goes to the genuine Amazon UK site which showed all me detail, wish lists etc. Would have to be a very clever scam as it already had all my details.

Thanks for the post

Says that I've already entered.

in reference to sugarbabe61 -change your password again etc but through the amazon web page.
These messages are fake/fraudulent theres loads of them floating around a paypal version. various bank versions/ itunes etc. Basically all legitimate looking always referring to your details being compromised in some way and click the link in the email to change it.
The trick is to see the email address it is sent from, where you can clearly see it is not the correct email address associated with that company.

Thank you but if you read my posts above this email was not fake. It had my full name including my middle initial. As I said above, I did not click on any of the links from the email but went into Amazon via google. I tried to log in using my old password but it would not let me and told me I had to change my password so it was 100% genuine from Amazon.
