If you stop buying stuff from Amazon your chances of falling for that are even slimmer ;)
F*ck Bezos.
I had one this week that said it has compromising images of me w*nking off to Pornhub by hacking my webcam and would share it with all my FB contacts if I didn’t pay a three figure sum, even included a correct password of mine in the subject line!
Sadly the password is around 7 years out of date and was taken from a Tumblr data hack around a decade ago, and I deffo don’t use my own personal/work email for anything related to, ya know, porn. Oh and I don’t have FB.
Not a bad try though. Can see how someone with less password security and no ability to fact check (see also; Google it) could fall for it. [Post edited 1 Nov 2020 16:16]

I know, I know, I wish I could & I do try to minimise it, but sometimes it's the only way of getting hold of uncommon stuff in these difficult times - and without spending life, time, and energy-draining hours/days/weeks chasing scandalously incompetent couriers like Hermes, who seem to just dump half their deliveries on other peoples' grass & run away.

Like so many of these the very dodgy punctuation is an immediate giveaway. |  | | |

Good point, tho in this case you had to open it to see it - don't really want to even get to that stage. | |

Most genuine emails will use your name as well. Anything which says dear customer etc is probably a scam. A lot of sites also provide info on how to spot if their communications are genuine. I got a text from 'Lloyd's bank' which looked pretty convincing. I was leaning towards scam and googled it. They then said they would include a specific piece of your details in texts/emails so I knew it was fake. |  |
