Primrose Road

I received an email from Amazon.com saying that they needed me to update my tax information for my Associates account so that they could pay me what I'd earned last year. Since I don't sell books through my site (if I link to something on Amazon here, I'm not earning money from it), I automatically figured it was just another instance of phishing.

Later, when I was on Amazon's website, I saw the same message. So, I logged in to see if there had indeed been a mixup.

Apparently some years ago I had an astrology website called "Star Gazing." Do I remember this? No. Is it highly plausible that I had an astrology website? Absolutely.

I tried the Internet Archive to search for remnants of the site, but to no avail (though the site address does include a screenname I used around eight years ago, so it's definitely mine all the way). Which is why I'm baffled as to how someone was able to click through a link on a nonexistent page.

In any case, I'm 54 cents richer now.

The best part of this: the book purchased was Astronomy for Dummies.
