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.
