i've received rfd PM's from amazon sellers before as well, asking me to try out their goods and post reviews

I'm not about to shill unless someone wants to give me like at least an iPhone or a car.

ahh, so that's how those deals with the coupons on amazon.ca work.

Not saying whether the email is true or not but scammers are getting way better at faking email addy's, websites, etc. I received an email recently from amazon staff. Everything looks legit asking me to click a link to verify/reset my password becuz as the letter stated, something fishy was goin on. I sensed something iffy right away as normally companies dont redirect you to outside link for password resets. Contacted amazon by fone and they said yup, everything in that email is legit... the exact same type of email they would send from their security dept. Email addy, "from" section and sign-off at the bottom of the letter matched exactly. They said YES we do send letters like that. The redirect link was to an outside amazon site but bcuz the appearance of that outside site looked outdated and they asked for a fone number and street address brought up red flags. That part they said we dont do and they told me to ignore it. They checked my account and found no fishy activities or log-in's for a long period of time. Gotta be extra careful these days. Point blank.

Phone not fone.

*thumbs down* welp.

I would agree to co-operate with him just to report the seller and company to RFD admin, so it can be blocked on RFD.

I reported another one recently (link below). They are able to get the email address that goes with your username and contact you that way (rather than by PM) because of the RFD security breach.

Thank you. I am usually very good at pickling out phishing scams but just wanted to make sure on this one. How do I report it

Yeah I have been reviewing a lot of stuff I bought on Amazon recently and I usually answer questions that appear in my email from amazon when someone asks about a product. This is why I've recently been getting multiple scams for me to purchase an item then review it and when I review it I get refunded like no... not how it works. I replied to them to send me the stuff first and then I'll review it. Send it free. Lol I also got this exact same email from Jason wang lol... it was funny. I replied "only if you ask me in c++"

I received another one today also. Crazy, I get the scams also, but wasn't sure with this one.
