What's up with Amazon?

Posted on 07/01/2025 4:46:00 AM PDT by LouAvul

My wife ordered some exotic-ish tea and I got an email that my Samsung remote control device had been delivered. I ordered some water filters and I got an email that my Makita tool accessories had arrived.

I never ordered, nor received, a Samsung remote control device. Ditto Makita stuff.

Are they transitioning to all AI?

Sounds like the far-left, Demonrats have begun sabotaging Amazon.

Were you billed? Was your account hacked? What does your order history show?

I get those all the time. They are scam attempts. Just delete them.

If the post office is delivering it then Amazon considers the packages delivered once it is in the hands of the post office. It might not get delivered until 2 days later.

Click on “accounts and lists”, and then “your orders”, and look at your order history to make sure no one is ordering things with your account or cards that you don’t know about

Do not click through on such emails. Probably phishing.

Sign into your Amazon account directly and check out your orders and billing from there.

It sounds like the typical scam stuff. Look at the “from” address. I’ll bet the address has nothing to do with Amazon.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with Amazon.

Don't delete them but at a minimum, mark them as "junk" so future emails like it go to your junk folder and your email provider knows they're suspicious.

Optimally, you should report them. Your email application should have a "report phishing" option, which will report them as suspicious back to your internet service provider.

This is fishy. Amazon delivery emails don’t list what has been delivereed. If you want to know what was in the package you need to click through to your Amazon order history.

I think it is the USPS saying it was delivered so that they appear to Amazon as having completed the work.

I get a lot of stuff from the post office that shows as delivered when it isn’t. Most of that comes through my ebay shopping experiences.

I have even had the post office report no one was home, which is a lie.

I get at least 2 emails a day from “BestBuy” showing an invoice for the amt of the charge, which is often 400-800 dollars. Sometimes it’s even a blast email going to many. Don’t open.

Scam emails phishing for your info. The scammer wants you to click links in the mail.

Look at the from email address and you will see some junk address.

If I were you, I’d click the links and give them your credit card number to get your refund. Be sure to include your card expiration date and CVV.

I get those all the time. Never open them. Just delete. As for Amazon, the package is delivered when the Amazon delivery person takes a cell phone photo of it sitting on your porch.

Make sure never to check on the status of your orders on the Amazon web site.
