i sell many of my items on amazon, and today i recieved an email off amazon saying for me to dispatch a nokia n70 to someone in nigeria obviously i thought it was a scam then i checked the email address it had come from and it said sales@amzon.com i then realised that the email address was wrong and it wasnt amazon but someone trying to fake it, the email was very offical though and was well laid out, just watch out for these scams, i nearly fell for things like this when i started so noobs watch out.

I sell a few things here and there on Amazon and I always check the "My Account" feature to verify the purchase, same with eBay/PayPal.

Does Amazon not have an email address to forward suspected spoof emails too similar to paypal's and ebay's ?
