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.
Scam i think you are pulling the scam you want us to check out the Nokia N73...
When did you start working for Nokia?? :>)
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.
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.

Crude attempt at a phishing scam. has nothing to do with amazon. Delete and forget but DON’T click the link!
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.
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we here in America say "shipping label" ... postal label sounds so British .....
Most companies have an ‘abuse@[company_name].com’ email address that you can forward such things to. It can also be helpful to copy the text of the full header information (depends on what software/website you use to read your email) and forward that information as well.
does Amazon even send out such messages? i order from them all the time, but i never read the messages... i just go to my page and track my packages...
I received a similar e-mail on April 1st. It looked like a legitimate message from Amazon, saying that a recent order had been shipped, and instructing me to open the attachment for tracking information. It even gave an order number.
But I wasn’t expecting anything from Amazon, and I had never received an e-mail from them with an attachment. The order number wasn’t even close to any of my real ones. Plus it was April Fools Day. So I didn’t open the attachment. I forwarded the message to Amazon site security.
Some months back, I got a similar one form “eBay”. It said that I had bought a $300+ watch and please submit payment to some bogus user ID. Had all the right eBay logos, etc. I just forwarded it to their security and they informed me it was a phishing expedition. The phisher was depending upon me being outraged and challenging the sale by “following this link”. Yeah, right.
I got on too a few weeks ago. I didn’t open it, I just deleted it.
Amazon was not the scammer. You title leads one to believe Amazon is at fault.
