Default Any of you Ammozone guys get......

A whole series of annoying spam emails from Ammozone account services about supposedly changing my/your password and whatever crap??

I just got 3 in a row this AM, typically I get 2-3 a DAY especially since I changed my email from ATT to Comcast because the ATT address has accumulated SO much crap, even with a name change on the addy, over the years, when getting 250+ a damn DAY, I finally switched, talk about a PIA, that's it.....but it's done yet again....

Yawl have issues with Ammozone?? on that score??

I don't think I have ever got an email like that from them. I don't check my spam folder very often though. Scam probably

Do not ever ever ever respond to any email asking you to click on a link in the email to do anything with any account you have online ever. Is that clear enough? BTW, it's how John Podesta's email was "hacked". They sent him an email that looked like it was from Google asking him to change his GMail password. That's called phishing and when you click on the fake Google sign-in link, you are actually giving the bad guy your password.

Only go directly to the web page of the service, in this case amazon.com, to ever click on your account link.

Google- does everything for me. Personal, and tethered to the School District. Pretty darned convenient.
