I know that its not really to do with holiday rentals, but I'm sure that there are a lot of people who use Amazon in the UK and abroad, is this a scam?
Its so un Amazon like it has to be!

Susan,
I agree with Paolo. It is a scam. I do not believe that Amazon would ask you update anything on-line. A simple e-mail to Amazon will confirm.
I had a slightly similar experience with PayPal some time ago. I bought on eBay and paid through PayPal. I got an e-mail from"PayPal" a couple of months later saying I hadn't paid and I should do so by clicking through and authorising a payment. It all looked exactly like PayPal but the click-on link given didn't actually go to a PayPal address. It was a scam.
