You could contact Amazon by phone and alert them to this scam e mail or ask if it is legit.

I think I will if I could find out how to call them??? I think they should be aware of this scam.

The entire thing is rife with errors ... I know Croemer is posting it for discussion purposes ... but only an i-d-i-o-t would fall for it.

Yes...re-reading it you are correct. Most of it makes no sense, have made amazon aware of it.

This portion made no sense to me:

Note:
- The link of the
coupon will expire within 24 hour from now.
- The coupon
validity is 30 days.

croemer asking:Which is it 24 hours or 30 days?

Not that it matters because it's not real, but you have 24 hours to obtain the coupon and 30 days to use it.
