    guys, this is what amazon.com sent me:

    Dear Amazon Member,
    We recently noticed an attempt to log in to your Amazon account from a
    foreign Ip
    address and we have reason to believe that your account was used by
    third party
    without your authorization.

    If you recently accessed your account while traveling,the unusual log
    in attempts
    may have been initiated by you.Therefore,if you are the rightful
    account holder,
    click on the link below to log into your account and follow the
    instructions.

    ano gawin ko? e close ko ba ung email add ko or just change the password?

    please help!

    Make a habit that never click any link given through email. Always go to any website by typing url in new browser and then login with your login details.

    DON.

    Another way you can see that this email is a scam is by looking at the part that says "Dear Amazon Member" - When this is an official email it will be addressed to your username rather then just Amazon Member.
