it came fromAttack.PhishingAmazon ( it appears to come fromAttack.Phishingthe auto-confirm @ amazon-payments-support.co.uk email address ) , but was in fact sentAttack.Phishingby the scammer . The order instructsAttack.Phishingthe user to pay via direct bank transfer , to a private bank account – seemingly through Amazon Payments , but actually not . Once the victims make the payment in the way they have been instructed , it ’ s game over . They have parted with their money , and Amazon won ’ t refund them as the payment hasn ’ t been effected through their payment system . “ Payment within the Amazon.co.uk site is the only authorised and recognised form of payment for items sold by Sellers on Amazon.co.uk . Every customer who orders on Amazon.co.uk is covered by our A-to-z guarantee ; however items paid for outside of the Amazon.co.uk Marketplace aren ’ t eligible for protection , ” the company noted , and advised customers to report this type of sellers to them . But even that is not enough to stop these scammers , and they set up new accounts almost immediately after old ones have been blocked , as evidenced in this post on a Kindle Help Forum . Obviously , Amazon must find a way to spot these schemes and take these accounts down much sooner
