do i need to clear my PC ?
 

hi
i accidently opened an email from amazon.ca today, the email address i use for canada account has been suspended in UK. (Canada account is still working).
the problem is i am using this PC for my new UK steath now, will amazon UK identify that my cuurent steath account linked to my previours suspended UK account ?

Re: do i need to clear my PC ?
 

the email from amazon.ca is a tax invoice. i am wondering if i need to clear all cookies ?
it's a little bit complicated. amazon .ca is okay now, but the email address i use for canada has alreday been suspended by UK.
the pc i am using is for a new steath UK account, it's brand new. i am worried that my current amazon UK can see that i opened an email from amazon.Ca, this email address is alreday registered with UK account before and has been alreday suspended. then get linked.
any idea ?

As long as you didn't reply to the email you should be fine

Play it safe and delete the internet browser that you used, and use a different one to access the account

Try to avoid it in the future :thumb:

The email you received, did you open it using an email client such as Thunderbird, Outlook etc. or did you view it online?

Also what was the email provider, GMail?

i viewed it online.
it's hotmail.
because it's a tax invoice, there is no flash or something like that, just a PDF file and words in the email.

I see. I dont use hotmail so cant comment. But if this was GMAIL for example, you wouldn't have had to worry as they use proxy servers to prevent email senders from capturing your details i.e. IP address (so long as you dont click any links within the email).

no, i didn't click anything.
personally i don't think amazon .ca and amazon.uk will link (hopefully).
the point i worry about is the cookies and ip address.
