Thanx for the "heads up" ...especially as many of us are Kindle users!

I've been getting scam 'cancelled Amazon orders' which could easily be mistaken as genuine. The first arrived when I didn't have an order, so I was suspicious. I have not opened any of them - just had my third today, so I Google'd to see if this was happening elsewhere and it seems this is common.

Here's one link from Google - it's safe to look at it - nothing to do with the scam emails I've received. Watch out, folks!
