Getting emails from Amazon cancelling orders.

[Deleted User]

Hi all,

I have had two seperate emails from amazon this week informing me of my cancelled order. It details an item number and description of the order.

Neither myself or husband have placed these orders and the children are too young. No one else has had access.

My guess is its a scam, but i'm wondering how it works, maybe by me replying it will verify my email address? I haven't btw.

Anyone else had any this week?

Scam. They expect you to click on the link to Amazon in the e-mail.

It takes you to a spoof login page which then steals your log in details.

Go to amazon.co.uk (without using their email link!) and check your account status. Any cancelled or pending orders should appear there

Yes, I assumed it was a scam - anything with a link is suspect. We do order a lot of books - and the book titles they chose did reflect the kind of books we order!
You can always log in to your amazon account & check your order if you really want to.

I have had these too, I have binned them without clicking on the link!

I've had a glut of these emails recently (never had them before) and forwarded them to stop-spoofing@amazon.com

Friend had a FB status relating to this the other day as well so it's obviously doing the rounds in quite a big way.

I hadn't heard of this one - glad I read this before I got one! I probably would have clicked, I order from there a lot.

Scammers are scum. They nearly conned my friend out of thousands a while back with the "overpay with a fraudulent cheque" technique, but thankfully she realised what they were up to.

I had these, clearly a phishing scam so I told Amazon about it. There's a link to e-mail them in the 'contact us' bit and they respond really quickly.

I got one and instead of opening the email, I checked my Amazon account through a genuine link. Now they just get deleted.

I've had quite a few too. Always amazon.com not amazon.co.uk. Mine have also all had th word cancelled spelt incorrectly as "canceled" which was the give away for me.
