My daughter just received a convincing phishing email
from Amazon. Fortunately, I had told her about a
recent item in Consumer Reports, so she wrote to ask
me what I thought before replying. Also fortunately,
she followed my advice (it shows she's maturing,
smile)and wrote to Amazon Customer Relations before
following what seemed to be instructions and found out
that, indeed, it was a phishing email and not genuine.

I know a lot of you are members at Amazon, and this
phishing email was *very* official-looking, so I
thought I'd warn you in case you receive that email,
too.

In the past I received on from Yahoo and wrote to its
Help desk before I did anything. THe phishing emails
are  convincingly realistic.
