A single email can undo years of careful online habits. That message claims you ordered something expensive from Amazon. It shows a familiar logo, a convincing order number, and a total that makes your stomach drop. It urges you to review or cancel the purchase immediately. One click later, hackers can grab your Amazon login, your password, and sometimes even access to far more than your shopping cart.
This scam keeps spreading because it works. It targets instinct. It relies on urgency. And it counts on the fact that almost everyone recognizes the name Amazon.
