Your Amazon.com Order Of Acer Aspire S3-913-8874 Has Shipped - Email Hoax
It appears that Dun & BradStreet isn’t the only company dealing with hoax Emails being sent out on their behalf today.
While checking my unfiltered Email address I found that Amazon has a shipment for me - or so it says.
The subject line of the message reads “Your Amazon.com Order Of Acer Aspire S3-913-8874 Has Shipped”
While the Email appears legitimate enough - including pictures of the ‘ordered item’ you’ll probably notice everything about just looks wrong. The full text of the Email says:
