I'm an Amazon customer, as I'm sure a few of you others are.

Just got an email from "Amazon"... "Congrats, Amazon Prime is Rewarding You With A Free Gift! Just Take This Short Survey"

Sender is <"<?<[email protected]>?>">, and when you right-click it to bring up details it locks up the page.

How many want to argue that it's legit and warm and fuzzy, right from Amazon? Or NOT?
 
I get those all the time. Funny thing is, I get them on an email address that Amazon has never had. However, I had ordered something shortly before that in which I didn't use my normal email that I use for purchases. So I know exactly what company sold my info out! Also, I often change up certain little things - spelling of a name, how I write an address, etc., so that I can trace back to a source. ...Can't do anything about it, but it was an interesting experiment.
 
There are a lot of scammers out there who use Amazon's name. Use common sense and look at the identity of where the message came from.

That's my point EXACTLY. Upon looking and seeing the sender is <"?>"> (actual address as displayed) is it hard for a reasonable person to realize it's a SCAM and NOT from "Amazon"?
 
I received an email from Harbor Freight 2 days ago. Said Please Rate & Review your recent purchases, listed & showed about 10 items.
Now, I have never ordered one thing from HF ?? What do you think ??
 
You could copy the header info from the email and paste it into
Microsoft's [b:cb112f80e7]Connectivity Tester[/b:cb112f80e7] message analyzer tab to check it out.
If you were so inclined. Of course, you could also just delete it. ;)
