    Did You Get Email From Amazon; Google Gift Cards

    This morning I'm doing my usual thing and I check my email to find a thank you note from amazon for my Google Gift Card(s) order which I never placed. The email warned me about scammers wanting payment in gift cards etc etc.

    Was this a poorly worded warning letter from Amazon not to pay people with gift cards, ie; potential scammers?
    Seems so. Everything about the email seemed legit right down to the sender and the path(s) and right now the internet is blowing up over these emails as I tried to look up info on what type of scam this could be since my purchase history and bank transaction history looked normal.

    A few minutes ago I received this email.

    Hello,

    You may have recently received an email from Amazon relating to a purchase of gift cards on Amazon.com. This email was sent in error. No action is required and we apologize for the inconvenience.

    Sincerely,
    Customer service
    Did an intern hit the wrong button this morning at 1am?

    I didn't.

    the link under "Amazon.com" there is almost certainly not to Amazon...
