I got two emails over a few days of so called 'cancellation' of an Amazon order.
I was not thinking, and responded to it just saying i did not order anything and what is going on..
No other info except my name.
I sent it.
Then I look at the details of the email. The where it came from had like well over a hundred lines. every other Amazon email has two lines.
Big problem. Then the link goes to some Canadian Pharmacy. another indication it was a fishing expedition for suckers.
I feel really stupid.
Creepsters are getting better at suckering people.
I do not know what they can do with my email, but I can say i will never respond to any wierd emails from some fake Amazon thing again.
Like i said, I am banging my head for even responding.

...one going around saying my YouTube video has been accepted. Apparently that one contains some nasty malware if you open it.

I got that too, knowing I didn't placed an order and asking the kids if they have I assumed it was a fake.

Luckily I didn't open mine
