Type of a scam Phishing

I RECEIVED A PHISHING LETTER VIA EMAIL ON AMAZON LETTERHEAD — I received a phony letter on Amazon letterhead wanting me to upgrade my credit information if I wanted to receive my order or else my account would be suspended. I immediately recognized it as a phishing letter — the url, misspelling of words, run-on sentences, no spaces after the periods, bad grammar, etc. The attached form asked for my SSN and credit card information. I did not respond because I recognized it as a phishing letter. Somebody is running a scam using the Amazon logo.

The email looks legit but I do not have an Amazon account and their email address is @amazoon.online. The grammar is also not correct.

I have received this scam one than once. It’s said account info from amazon which I knew right away was a scam. Asked for my passport info, date of birth and SS#. I reported it to amazon. Then a second email arrives saying they did not receive my account info, then a third email arrives saying my amazon account has been closed

Recieved an email from what appears to be Amazon.com from email address [email protected] stating my account had been frozen and they are unable to validate my account information. They said once i logged in to the link provided in the email, I could validate my information and my account suspension would be lifted. The process does not take more than 3 minutes.

Amazon.com Inc. unveiled the first in a planned fleet of new cargo jets on Thursday, part of an effort by the e-commerce giant to expand its logistics operation.

The Boeing 767-300, emblazoned with “Prime Air” on its fuselage, is to be operated by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc. It is one of 40 that Amazon has agreed to lease as it broadens its system for shipping and delivering goods quickly to

supplement partners such as United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp.

The plane is part of a deal announced in May to lease 20 Boeing planes from Atlas Air, following a similar deal in March to lease as many as 20 jets from Air Transport Services Group.

The effort stems from a broad desire at Amazon to take greater control of its shipping and package delivery operations. In some cases, the firm is using its own trucks, drivers and a fleet of couriers for so-called last mile delivery, the final and

most-expensive leg of an order’s trip.

Amazon’s shipping costs have been rising more quickly than sales, and having its own cargo fleet could help stem the rise. The company said last month its second-quarter shipping expenses rose 44% to $3.36 billion, while sales rose 31%.
