I recently made an Amazon order and received 3 or 4 messages that purported to be from "ship-confirm@amazon.com" with the subject line "Your amazon.com order #310-419-1500 has shipped" (the number was different for each one).
These were spoofs, or illegitimate emails sent by someone who hijacked information about my order. They were ads for Microsoft products at ridiculously low prices. Clicking on a link took me to http://www.oem-expert.biz/?id. It seems to be phony. Googling oem-expert I found a thread about this at http://www.dshield.org/pipermail/list/2004-January/014143.php
This has disturbing implications. We will discuss on Help Desk Tuesday February 10, 2004.
