Been getting offical looking e-mails the past couple days with order tracking details. It lit up my security software but not until it was opened. What tough is if you have outstanding orders...so beware.

(84,711 posts)1. I got one over the weekend. Didn't open..but
was tempted because I had placed order with Amazon..but, remembered that it was the date the e-mail said. Nasty thing with no warning. But, maybe if I'd tried to open it would have gotten an alert.

I would prefer femaleware myself.
Perhaps you mean MALWARE. Sorry if I offended and/or English is your second language, I am just a bit pedantic when it comes to spelling.
