Is there any way to verify it's from Amazon? Wonder what kind of information they want?

I'd be leery.....

Nope. Not one in mine.

Yeah, one word: SCAM.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

It's a scam. Contact Amazon.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

I doubt it is from Amazon. Check out these links. The first is how to identify if an email is from Amazon and the second is to report phishing/fraud emails.

I delete anything that says dear customer or account user.

I figure if it's real then next time I go to log on it will let me know.

I strongly suspect scam. The part I bolded is one of the dead giveaways of scam - poor use of the English language.

Another sign, wanting you to download something. Amazon wouldn't have you download anything, you would take the survey on-line.

I think the biggest clue that it is spam is the first sentence "" This is a random selection"" is so convoluted. Also the dear customer instead of your name I guess that is actually the biggest tip off to being spam.
