Since Amazon didn't actually send you that email, what was the point to emailing them?

As I said, my email account had recently been hacked. And with all the identity theft going on, it seemed prudent to stop any problems along that line before they start. A little preventative medicine, as it were. I was not sure that someone had not decided to hack my email and use it to make purchases, routing the items to them. Then, when the email was checked...guess whose name would come up connected to it? That is why I emailed Amazon about it. Now, should any problems arise, I am good. Does that explain it for you?

I got the one from amazon.com too, cancelling an order that was dated for the next day, lol.

I got the Amazon one yesterday, too!

I get them everyday too. I wondered if I should contact the companies! Thank goodness I keep deleting them!!!

I just got one and clicked on it to see what it would say. When you hover over the link that is supposed to take you to Amazon, if you look in the lower left corner of your screen, it will really take you to this website.

Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie!! Definitely not Amazon. This is so easy to do, don't know why everyone does not check it out before clicking on a link.

Of course if you did click on the link, it would look like you were on Amazon, even in the address bar. They have a way of faking those things. But so far they can't fake what you see when you hover over the link.
