Got an Amazon Account Compromised Email. Obvious Scam!

[Remy]

I know scams have been reported here before but it appears this one might be circulating. I forwarded the e mail to Amazon. It had an attachment. No way am I opening that.

I went to Amazon, my account seems fine there. No warning. I've got one of these before but it's been years.

stop-spoofing@amazon.com This is the Amazon e mail to forward suspicious e mails to. Found with a quick Google search.

I've been getting that one for months. The scammer even uses Amazon's logo to make it look real.

Not just Amazon logos. Microsoft, PayPal, all the big ones. They’re getting really good at this. Their previous scamming must have bought them a quality education; they’re articulate now.
