I got this email from amazon
This is an important message from Amazon.
At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email address and password sets posted online. While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their passwords on several websites. We believe your email address and password set was on that list. So we have taken the precaution of resetting your Amazon password. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused but felt that it was necessary to help protect you and your Amazon account.
To regain access to your Amazon customer account:
1. Go to Amazon and click the “Your Account” link at the top of our website.
2. Click the link that says “Forgot your password?”
3. Follow the instructions to set a new password for your account.
Please choose a new password and do not use the same password you used with us previously. We also highly recommend that you choose a password that you are not using on any other sites. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Sincerely,
Amazon
My name at the top of it, from what looks like a genuine amazon email.
Theres no click through link in the email (which is what i thought the scam would be) However the email address this went to is my work one, which isn’t the registered one with amazon. I’ve also gone direct to my amazon account and my password hasn’t been reset……
so what gives, is this just a very good look alike designed to just annoy people or is there an underlying scam i cant see??
I’ll forward it to amazon and see what they say, but anyone else had this??
