Just got this email, didn't and won't open the attachment, this is a new one to me.

You have ordered " Nokia N73 "
You can find your tracking number in attached to the e-mail document.
Print the postal label to get your package.
We hope you enjoy your order! Amazon.com
I got something similar the other day but didn’t bother to open it because I don’t have anything on order.
Mine was camera equipment too.
Very poor attempt at a scam.
Delete it.
Um...what’s the scam?
Scam i think you are pulling the scam you want us to check out the Nokia N73...
When did you start working for Nokia?? :>)
It’s gone, I haven’t ordered anything for a couple of months anyway.
A company as big as Amazon could surely pull off something less pethetic than that.
I have been shopping for Amazon since the day they went online and I have never been scammed by them. You were probably scammed by someone else using the Amason logo. You may want to call Amazon for a spoofing attack.
Trying to make him open up the attachment which is more then likely a virus or Trojan.
Attachment is a virus. Don’t open it.
Shift+Delete ASAP
Amazon (I’m very sure) would love you for forwarding it with all information intact to their fraud department.

I know it isn’t Amazon, they are good to deal with and honest.
Crude attempt at a phishing scam. has nothing to do with amazon. Delete and forget but DON’T click the link!
You were a victim of a spoofing attack. You may want to contact Amazon and report it. You may want to check you computer for Trojan Horses or viruses
I don’t work for anyone, I’m done paying income taxes!
Oh.
Me too. I’m such a good customer, most of the stuff I buy for myself is with reward points.
You might also want to ask the Mods to change the title of this thread, as it reads now as if it's Amazon pulling a scam
Right up until that part, it sounded like a legitimate notice from Amazon, that could be evidence someone had hacked your Amazon account and bought something to be shipped to themselves with it. One of the main reasons online retailers and financial institutions routinely send out confirmation e-mails is so you'll be alerted if your account is being used by an unauthorized party. But when you get a message that sounds like that might the case, of course you should always go directly to the retailers site and contact them that way, not click on a link in the e-mail.
