Amazonforum.com pops up when paying Amazon customers search for Amazon customer service contacts. The site looks very much like an Amazon website, with Amazon company logos and Amazon device and service logos displayed prominently, and it is described as an Amazon forum. Some members claim they are "Amazon Staff" and include this information next to their usernames. The only way to ask a customer service question on these forums is to use your existing Amazon login and password information, which they are linked to and have access to (even though Amazon SWEARS this is not their site).
The "Amazon Staff" members of this forum have given private addresses, full names, and user login and password info to random general public members of this forum.
I've had to change my user info several times now as a result of this.
At the Twitter @AmazonHelp, an Amazon employee (supposedly -- there are now so many lies on the part of both Amazon and these fraudulent forums, I'm not sure @AmazonHelp is an actual Amazon social media account -- probably not), gives a bizarre answer, claiming it's a public forum, but only people with Amazon accounts can ask questions (hence the need to give them your Amazon login/password to access it). Here's the response:
Amazon Help @AmazonHelp Hi there. While we do respond to customer questions in the forum, it's open to the public. Anyone with an Amazon account can make posts.
