2. LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The Better Business
Bureau is warning online shoppers to beware of
a phishing scam that looks like an order
cancellation notice from Amazon.com.
The BBB suggests double-checking suspicious
emails that look as if they're supposed to be from
Amazon before you click on the links.
FROM THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU:
The scam email comes from an
Amazon.com email address, such asorder-
update@amazon.com, and contains the subject
line "Your Cancellation" and an order number.

3. The email tells the recipient that "your order has
been successfully canceled" and provides a
summary of the order.
Amazon.com is cautioning email recipients to
delete any cancellation notice with an eight digit
order number. However, just because your
email has a longer order ID number doesn't
mean that's real.
To double check your email, be sure to hover over
the links to verify their destination. Amazon
emails only link to sites that begin with
"http://"something".amazon.com." (Note the
period before "amazon.com.")

4. Sites such as "payments-amazon.com" are not
actually Amazon. Amazon also never uses an
IP address (a string of numbers separated by
periods) followed by a directory name, such
as http://"123.456.789.123"/amazon.com/.
IF YOU WANT TO CONFIRM A CANCELLATION:
1. Go to Amazon.com by
typing www.amazon.com into your web browser.
Don't click a link in the e-mail itself.
2. Click "Your Account" in the upper-right corner.
3. Visit "Your Orders" and see if an order matches
the details for the one in the e-mail.
