I have been getting a steady stream of phishing emails, all from amazon.com supposedly,  all with a zip file, all purporting to be reference an order of mine placed May 28th.  It's coming to many addresses at our location.  I did not order anything then.  I do not open zip files unless I am expecting them from a known source who has told me it's coming in another email.  Does anyone know how to alert Amazon that these frauds are going on?  An email to fraud at amazon,com , bounced.

Not really broadcast related but this appears to be either a phishing expedition or virus exercise.  Since everybody uses Amazon I thought I'd pass this on.

E-mail from tech.okolosports.com (tech.okolosports.com [31.220.7.252])
    (simple header isAmazon_Coupons<amazon_coupons at okolosports.com>

subject line:Congratulations on your Amazon Survey Reward

Then in the body you are prompted to click on a link to start a survey in order to receive a $25 Amazon gift card.

I didn't--because this came to an e-mail address I've never used with Amazon. Plus "okolosports" doesn't seem to come back as a legitimate survey company.

Be warned.
