Suspicious email

Hi,
I have received email supposedly from Amazon telling me my order is
ready for dispatch, but I can click on the link to make any changes before they dispatch.

OK, firstly I have not placed any orders with them (I have double checked)

Secondly, I cannot find a way to forward this mail to Amazon to inform them of this.

Has this happened to anybodyl else?

Many thanks
Carmen x

    Is it addressed personally to you?
  • Hi Carmen, I received two of these emails from different email addresses, marked both as phishing scams and just as a precaution changed my password on my Amazon account.

    These emails seem to be doing the rounds. Got one today and sent it to my blocked senders folder. Also had similar from UPS the other day.

    Just delete it. Amazon don't want it!

    I've had a few of these emails today, but I know I haven't ordered anything from Amazon so just deleted them.
    Have read a few posts this afternoon on different forums from people who've opened the attachment and now have a Trojan they can't delete.
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
