Is this Amazon Business email phishing?

The URL amazonbusiness.com does appear to be a legitimate Amazon domain. ICANN shows the same registrant info for both that URL and for amazon.com.

In case the registration detail have been spoofed, they both have the same hostmaster phone and email. So you can ask them if it is a valid Amazon domain.


Phishing; I received a nearly identical email. I was able to verify with amazon that it was not sent from them and should be treated as malicious.

The email I received was sent from "[email protected]". It had a slightly different appearance to the graphics and a different wording of the first line, but it contained the same links and routed through the same suspicious paths indicated by the op before landing on a valid amazon log on page.

I sent the email to amazon and then contacted them by phone where they were certain that it was not sent by them. Amazon stated that they keep a log of every communication. If you contact them about an email you received they can quickly verify if it was sent by them or not.

I hope this helps eliminate any question of if it is or is not phishing.


I think it is, I have just visited http://amazonbusiness.com and it 302 redirected me to https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=508510 which is not a business page.

When I google amazon business the search result is for https://www.amazon.com/business and redirects to https://www.amazon.com/b2b/info/amazon-business?layout=landing which very much is an amazon business page.

These guys are good.
