No.

Good to see you back. It was a little boring without you.

And it means the cowboy is on the mend.

A win-win.

Thank you very much.

You should be able to tell that this isn't a legit email, so don't even open it! Some of these can have stuff in it that is released just when you open the email.

I got one in an email address that I've never even used with Amazon but, even so, it was clearly not like any other Amazon email as far as the subject line. It went right to the 'spam' folder, so that was good.

I've received two in the last two days. Both were sent from an email address in India, I think (.in suffix?)

Call Amazon. When I got one they asked me to forward it to them as they wanted to know about any fraudulent attempts.

That is what I was going to suggest. Even my bank wants them forwarded to them.

I got an odd one from an Amazon seller recently. They asked me to give them a review when I already had. I deleted it.

Just called Amazon.com and they said this was the 4th caller with the same two order #'s. Forwarded it to stop-spoofing@amazon.com. Posted this on Beauty Banter and Electronics just in case someone might miss it on VP.

Thanks for posting this, esmerelda. It's good to bring this to everyone's attention, imo.

These emails were prolific back in December 2013 (no doubt capitalizing on all the Christmas shopping) and they're back.{#emotions_dlg.angry}

Here are 2 good articles from December:

Amazon 'Order Details' Malware Email

and

I got that email from Amazon and knew it was bogus as I've never ordered from Amazon. Deleted it and trashed it.

I also go one from the United Nations. Oh do they want my input?
