How Stupid Do They Think I Am?

I would share the e-mail that I got the other day as usual, but it is on the desktop computer and I am posting this from my laptop.  What I got was a e-mail saying it was from Amazon and that they had run their payment schedule but there was a problem and they could not pay me what they owed me.  OOps!

The e-mail encouraged me to log into a specific page and update my information quickly so that I could be paid what they owe me.  Now, had I not been the most paranoid pf people I might have been tempted to fall for this one, save for one small technical detail – Amazon does not owe me any money!

Sure I have a Amazon affiliate account, but I have not yet reached the minimum payout point for it.  I of course immediately sent the scam to Amazon’s scam reporting department – which I will post an e-mail for here in the sidebar the next time I am thinking about it and on the  computer that has it on it.
