Amazon email scam

SCAM-SPAM amazon emails

Today I received a canselation of my Amazon order. Curiously cause I made an amazon order last week but did not cancel it, I opened the email only to realize that I had not ordered the canceled item. The links provided in the email were to some Canadian pharmacy. Similar technique with the Youtube email scams.

Your order has been successfully canceled. For your reference, here's a summary of your order:

You just canceled order 10-1837-7176 placed on May 9, 2012.
