Amazon Spoof

I keep banging on about this stuff, but this phishing attempt (in the same way that most do) really makes me laugh. Because it’s sooooo crap, and so obviously false. This is one that you’d have to be really stupid to fall for (in as much as a lot of the other ones I’ve seen look professional enough that the untrained eye could easily fall for it)… just read the text, consider the grammar, the typo’s, the language… everything. Classic.
