I don't know how often, but it happens regularly; there have been numerous reports of it here at MR. Amazon will ask you for documentary proof of your residence in the country you claim to be in.

This doesn't happen if you simply visit somewhere (eg I've bought books from Amazon UK while I've been on holiday in the US); I suspect it happens if your IP shows you as continually present in one country while claiming to be in another.
