"Your $100 AMAZ0N Prime Credit-Will Expire" Amazon Prime Reward Scam

Just received similar email saying I will lose $200 Amazon bonus if I don't click on link before Nov. 18.
Thought it sounded too good to be true so I googled it!

How stupid do these scammers think we are? The email subject mentions a $50 Credit, and then the body of the scam email bumps that to $100. What a joke.

Just received same. My filter automatically dumps this as spam so I simply delete all spam. Would never consider opening anything from anyone I didn't request it from. That's always the safest thing to do.

Just received this. I hope its doesn't implant any malware.

I get that email all the time in my junk folder.

Another way to double check is to look at the return email address...and I often do a Google search for the subject line if I'm at all suspicious.

I got this email the other day but was afraid to click on it, though it sounded good, it was suspicious to me. Ho they know I have Prime, I don't know, but something was off.
The Amazon word in the email had 0's as O's (zero vs. the letter O), and it just didn't seem like it was a for real thing from Amazon, although I wanted it to be. This question led me to search, and here I am. Found this right off the bat! I thought so, but thanks for the confirmation. I did NOT want to get a virus on my PC or 'schwaggled' in any way.
Much appreciated. You get nada for nothing :).
