Never had it but its not difficult to send it

So it is possible to send an email with the same domain . I had received it in the past other similar but the domain was a bit different and if you click on it change . Instead this email I received it looks perfect and there is the same domain name

Yes, this is called e-mail spoofing. Just don't click on the links inside these e-mails as the sender will most probably get your Amazon log-in data.

I was going to say that it is not possible to set the 'from' header unless they hacked amz servers but I stand corrected. Yikes, makes me glad I only received scam attempts from low tech crooks.

Have you checked the full header?

Just got one today on my spam email account that doesn't even have an amazon account on it.

I swear these people are just pathetic. And whoever falls for these obvious scam are...

But I responded to the email for fun, let's see if they reply back.

These are the same as the IRS and lottery scams... oh and the nigerian prince inheritance scam too.
