Once again, internet fraudsters are trying to lure unsuspecting users into a trap using false facts. They pretend to be Amazon.de and send fake emails in their name.
What should be noted here is that many Amazon customers trust the email because, on the one hand, it looks almost perfect and, on the other hand, the customers are addressed with their full name.
The email itself says:

If you followed the instructions and clicked on the link, you would be redirected to the fake Amazon login page:
During the process, NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, ADDRESS, etc. will be requested
As well as CREDIT CARD INFORMATION and ACCOUNT NUMBER
The user is deceived!
Once the user has entered all of their data, they are being deceptively deceived. Apparently he has successfully confirmed his data and is now being redirected to the login!
This is also the case on the REAL REGISTRATION PAGE from AMAZON. You can tell from the URL!
In comparison, the scammers' fake Amazon URL
For the user, it looks like they have done everything right.
All data ends up in the hands of the fraudsters!
But that's not the case. ALL data entered was transmitted 1:1 to the fraudsters. Not only did they now have access to the respective Amazon account - NO - they also received all information about the user themselves such as, NAME, ADDRESS, DATE OF BIRTH, BANK DETAILS, CREDIT CARD INFORMATION, etc.
