Hey guys!
Is it possible to convert your current account to a US account? (Using an international account on the amazon.com page) when I changed my country and bought a few items I received:
"I see that you attempted to purchase "XXX [Kindle Edition]" while in a different country than the United States listed on your Amazon account. Certain Kindle titles are not available everywhere. We are reaching out to you to ensure the best possible service for your account.
If this is not the case, and you would like to share information that you live in the United States, we can be reached by fax at 001-206-266-1838 from outside the US, or 206-266-1838 from within the US. Helpful information includes:
– Passport
– Military ID
– Permanent Resident Card
– Driver’s License
– Other state photo identity card
We want to assure you that we handle this information in a secure manner: these are dedicated fax lines, staffed in an area with limited employee access. The fax is never printed, just converted to an electronic image that is used to check the country, then the image is deleted."
It all sounds pretty ominous, but can you safely ignore this warning, use a USA proxy and keep going?
PS. They did not delete the purchase off of my account, and I switched my country back to my real country. DS.
