Re: Amazon.com Scam

[Tom Ritchford <tom@swirly.com>]

In general, never ever click on a link from ANYONE that involves
money... your bank, paypal, ebay, your credit card company.

The link may be deceptive...  if you can, type in the name you expect to 
get.

This avoids issues like the paypaI.com hoax (more obvious when you see
the URL as paypai.com)...
