Heads up on this phishing e-mail I got from "Amazon"

 
I got this e-mail today telling me that I needed to "update my credit card because it expired and my Prime account was in jeopardy". It looked absolutely legit. Of course, it wanted me to **click the link** to update my credit card info. HA! I went on Amazon's website, and there was NOTHING wrong with my account, so I reported it to: stop-spoofing@amazon.com. It's a scam a minute out there. Be careful, my friends.

This reminds me of DUmmies setting up gofundme scams.

John Podesta responded to that and when his credit card account was run up by Nigerians, he blamed Trump.

Remember Podesta is supposedly one of the smart leftists in the donkey party.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Breaking:  DUmmie discovers phishing in 2020!

How does any email that asks for your credit card number look "absolutely legit?"

Common sense and DUmmies are not good friends.

    The best bait for DU phishing is .... suckers.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

That's not the scam they should be worried about.
