Got a series of these scam / phishing e mails supposedly relating to Amazon orders
Just a heads up:
I did not order anything form Amazon? What is this? Click the link = You been scammed / downloaded a Trojan or whatever other nasty trick they are pulling.
I added [EMAIL="jhn_rennie@yahoo.co.uk"]jhn_rennie@yahoo.co.uk[/EMAIL] to my blocked senders list but it is probably just a spoof address.
I got matching set from "Bank Support" <LOL> how pathetic is that?

Yes, I've had loads of these today and had odd ones the past few weeks.
I guess with Christmas coming up, the scammers know that there will be lots of people ordering from Amazon so they are clearly in extreme phishing mode at the moment.
