It happened to me the first time I tried to download a free kindle book I'd "bought", when I was still living in Australia (prior to the .au site). I was sent an email saying that my IP address was in Australia and that I'd need to provide proof of US residency before I could download it (eg drivers licence or similar). I had created a new amazon account for this specific purpose, using a relative's genuine US address, so it's not like they would have seen a change of address in my account. Unfortunately I didn't keep the email and I didn't bother to "buy" any more Kindle freebies until I moved to the US so I don't know if it would have happened again.
