Wow! Just wow!
I needed to review the order details according to the email I received.
The email was an order confirmation from Amazon. All of us in the office received the same verbiage. And I wonder how these techy people get all of our business email addresses.
I wonder what item we purchased online with an amount of $313 and something change.
My manager immediately announced about the email.
Even she did not announce it, I won't open any links in that email. I know it is a PHISHING email. In the first place I did not make the purchase.

I wonder why Amazon would do that. Sell our email addresses.

@jobelbojel - i doubt they sold it. theres always people looking for e-mail addresses.
this is now as popular as the african prince email scams.

@LadyDuck It is the good thing to do - logging into your account.

@jobelbojel If there is a pending or canceled order you can find it there.

Blogs and discussions made me wiser when it comes to phishing and SMShing.

That was very scary, the only thing I got before was a fake paypal email. Good thing though that I've been warned before about it.

It is weird right when somebody sends us an email about an order we did not place.

Trust is a big thing. I don't trust these links being sent to my office mail or even my personal mail.
