Today, I reported to Amazon that I received a spoofed Amazon email from someone claiming to be an Amazon marketer in Brazil. What bothered me most was that the sender sent the message to my email address, which I use exclusively for Amazon.
I sent Amazon a copy of what I thought was a spoofed email telling Amazon that I needed to know how the spoofer got my email address.
The sender's email address ended in @Amazon.com , which I thought was spoofed. Now, having read this post, I think the email was due to Amazon sharing customer email addresses with their marketing partners. IF SO, THIS IS A BLATANT BREACH IN CUSTOMER PRIVACY AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED!
Imagine all the amazon vendors that will be sending emails. Could babe a big mess of traffic.
