Description

This story, if true, is just mind-blowing. Amazon have contacted a women to tell her that her account has been closed, because it has been linked with another account that has be closed "for abuse". The woman protests that she has no idea what they're talking about - she has only ever had one amazon account. Amazon refuse to tell her any more, tell her it's against their policies to divulge any further information, and inform her that if she opens any future accounts, they will be closed at all. In closing her account, they have deleted everything from her kindle, with nothing she can do about it, because they will not enter into any dialogue at all about it.
