I just got an interesting Amazon phish: "Per the User Agreement, Section 9, we may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you if we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us. We may also take these actions if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us." Ooh, scary. (Since I don't shop at Amazon, I can easily tell the phish from the real thing.) [Hack the Planet]
