Here's the latest Scam

Here's the latest scam from some misguided individuals pretending to be Amazon.com. I've received two so far. Be on the lookout for these emails. Do yourself a favor, don't open them, just delete and forget it.





Here's how you can tell it's a fake:

1.  Sent from a private email address, not an Amazon.com address
2.  The product delivery address is not mine.
3.  The hyperlinks don't go to amazon.com.



Returns are easy. Visit our Online Return Center.
If you need any assistance with your order, please visit Merchant Contact Form.
We hope to see you again soon! Amazon.com



For your protection, I've disabled the hyperlink. However, if you receive a similar email and if you scroll your mouse over the hypelink you'll see something totally different: http://earl2.jamesbeard.org/fhd42i3d.html

I didn't bother clicking, because I may get a nasty surprise.

So, scams are alive and well. Protect yourself and your employees by understanding what you click.
