I know it's early but can anyone in the US help me with SR3? I can paypal the money for it, but I haven't done it before.

EDIT: actually I'll try this later.

And about the below, no I didn't get that email but I also rarely use my Amazon.com account.

Non-US GAF,

any of you got "Your Amazon.com password has been changed" email from Amazon.com (a legit one).

Dear REDACTED

This is an important message from Amazon.com

As a precaution, we've reset your Amazon.com password because you may have been subject to a "phishing" scam.

Here's how phishing works:

A scam artist sends an e-mail, which is designed to look like it came from a reputable company such as a bank, financial institution, or retailer like Amazon.com, but is in fact a forgery. These e-mails direct you to a website that looks remarkably similar to the reputable company's website, where you are asked to provide account information such as your e-mail address and password. Since that web site is actually controlled by the phisher, they get the information you entered.

Go to amazon.com/phish to read more about ways to protect yourself from phishing.

To regain access to your Amazon customer account:

1. Go to Amazon.com and click the "Your Account" link at the top of our website.

2. Click the link that says "Forgot your password?"

3. Follow the instructions to set a new password for your account.

Please choose a new password and do not use the same password you used with us previously.

Thank you for your interest in Amazon.com

Sincerely,

Amazon.com

I checked the message headers and it's legit and I wasn't able to log into my account until I resetted the pasword.

I'm posting this here because I think this is because of those US billing address schemes we did in order to buy digital games from the latest sale. Amazon might have flagged it as a suspicious activity... Anyway, I removed that address from my Amazon account as soon as I bought what I needed.
I had a super-secure password for Amazon, I've been their customer since 2001. and never-ever have I fell for an Amazon, or any other phishing scam.

Thoughts?

Thanks Tony! Took #258 for Europa Universalis. I had actually looked at the free games earlier in the week, but didn't see anything. Is this a selection that will be expanding?

LTTP but do Amazon free games require a credit card? I'm trying to link my account and play Battle Space, but don't really want to put a card in if I do not have to.

Hit quote on the post that Tony mentioned, then take a close look at what gets autogenerated into the text box.

("Quote" does not mean "repost my quoted post and I will personally PM you a key")

Man, I'm hoping I can get Europa Universalis, and it seems once again every code I try is used up and won't activate before the Invalid Code error crops up. I seem to have no luck with that game. :/

I get an invalid code for everyone I'm trying, instead of the duplicate code error that appears when said code has been used. Fuuuuu

Wait a short while before trying again. Steam temporarily stops accepting CD keys altogether when too many dupes have been used in quick succession.

I bought the Saints Row 3 for $9.99 using my Iphone because I am at work. If I am going home to download it, does it automatically go to Steam acount as a Steam game?

What you're doing is amazing Tony, thanks!
