I got an email supposedly from Amazon. It didn't look right, so didn't click the link. Checked with Amazon, it is a fake. Here is the email. If you get one like this DO NOT click the link, just delete.

Good info - click on no link sent in an email, especially a shortened link! Don't be a Podesta!

I always mouse over the links in these things to see where it wants to go.
Definitely not the purported company.

I'm always amused when I get an e-mail from a company I don't use, like a bank, asking me to sign in.

That's why I like GMail this kind of stuff ends up in my spam folders.
