[AK-VHF] Important Notice To All Amazon Customers

[Edward R Cole]

Tom,

Thanks for the warning.  I did not click the link 
but went to Amazon.com the normal way instead, 
and successfully signed in.  I saw no mention on 
the amazon.com site referring to the e-mail message.

I think this may refer back to when all qsl.net 
websites were temporarily shutdown by google 
citing a maleware issue.  QSL.net complained to 
google for inserting this warning and the sites 
were back in good operation in a day or 
two.  QSL.com websites were never 
compromised.  AK-VHF website and e-mail reflector are hosted on QSL.net.

This message is typical spoof to trick folks into 
clicking a link which enables the bad guys to 
download a virus or maleware worm into you computer.

Please ignore the instructions to "verify your 
account" via the link.  Just delete the e-mail.
