here's what i've encountered;

The last couple weeks I’ve gotten an email from amazon.com saying that my transaction has been canceled.  It lists a book, or video, and a cancelation number.  The thing is I don’t have an account with Amazon using that email address and there doesn’t seem to be any way to contact Amazon to question that this whole thing is about!!  I’ve gotten two notifications in the last three weeks.  Anyone hear of something like this??

I check all of my accounts, and none of them have had any transactions paying out to or receiving credit from amazon.com. 

What do you think?  Spam, or Phishing??

Definitely phishing. Local consumer radio guy was talking about it.
