"notifications." They would be easy to fall for.

I do have Netflix but my account is fine. At first I thought it was real but then I realized my account was fine.

Thanks for confirming what I thought that email was.

After taking a photo of the email text & address (almost all numbers & not remotely associated with Amazon), I pasted it into a spam report at Amazon.com. No more phishing emails since then.
Note: click on the return email address (they disguise it to look like "Amazon&quot and the actual return address shows up. This helps Amazon deal with the criminals.

When I get something like this, I call the phone number I have for the company and let them know.
