Amazon saw all my passwords!

[Kelly441]

I was changing my password for one of my email accounts that is not associated with Amazon in any way. I changed it to the same exact password as my Amazon seller account. Within20 minutes I got an email from Amazon stating that I should not use the same password for other accounts on my computer. They temporarily disabled my account login and made me change my password. This has to be some kind of Spyware software on the computer that is snooping my passwords. The computer came up clean with an Avast virus scan and CC Cleaner and Spybot. They must be in cahoots with AV companies not to detect this? What are your guys thoughts?

Then you probably believe the US Govt took down the World Trade Centers on 911, so I can't help you.

Good grief people, I'm not making this stuff up. I will hunt for the email and post it if I can find it.

I'm sure you did receive an email, no need to post.

You are suggesting that AVS is in cahoots with Amazon, Ebay or PP, that's the problem.

OH, lol. Well something is going on. A virus or spyware that steals your passwords should be easy to detect. As for conspiracy theories, I tend to question anything told to us form main stream news, but this isn't the venue to talk about it.

As long as you AZ account is fine, dont repeat but it is kind of odd. Yes post up the e-mail for analysis.
