Amazon Review Department

 

I have just received this e-mail supposedly from Amazon. I know that it's fraud as it didn't come to the e-mail I use for Amazon. It's also not very professional.

Out of curiosity I looked up the owner of the URL given in the e-mail.

Hmm. I've just had the same email, so the scam's obviously still profitable. You'd think they'd make it a bit more professional.
