Just two days ago I got a similar spam that cardsqc noted above. They had my email and an old password that said my account was hacked and they demanded money. Just two weeks ago, my Amazon account was hacked and over $1500 including a new iPhone was purchased. Although I saw it the morning after the hack, I could only cancel some of the shipments, Amazon processed the orders and shipped the products after repeated calls to their customer service that these were not my orders going to Wilmington, DE. I suspect an inside job or they got in through password autofill from my hacked yahoo account. I am still awaiting reimbursement, promised to me by all four customer service personnel I have talked to, but it is not there yet.I now am using two step authentication on Amazon. Note I am pretty careful, I have passwords not in the dictionary, with caps and numbers, I don't log into anything financial on public computers, nobody except Mrs. Outoftown knew I had a large balance with Amazon, which ironically came from Delta issued Amazon Gift Cards for two VDBs. The balance was only there a month, and I was the only one that knew the password. My email now has a totally new and different password from all other accounts.
