NOT From Amazon - Please share

FW: Your Amazon.co.uk order #261-5508270-8013475
 
We have had three of these today, two came with a little executable inside a zip file called "Order Details.zip". It does not appear to be a virus but is almost guaranteed to compromise your computer somehow or send you to a fake Amazon site to get you to enter your details (phishing). We weren't prepared to find out and neither should you.
 
Tips on spotting a fake.......
 
If you look at the three email addresses below you will see that they are not from Amazon
The email does not contain a recipient's name - A good test from Amazon, eBay and PayPal - they always email using your name as it appears on their system, never 'Dear Customer' or in this case 'Good Afternoon'.
If you are suspicious, open a new browser window, type in the name of the site you're not sure about (don't copy and paste), make sure it's on a secure page (https://etc.... or with a Padlock symbol)  Log into your account and look in 'Messages'. If these sites are genuinely messaging you, there will be some reference to that fact in your online account.
 
Please Please Please Share these posts on facebook, twitter, Google+, LinkedIn or any other social networking sites, the more people that can spot these fakes, the better. Help stop the Scam emails.

Please share this SCAM - FW: PLEASE GET BACK SOON

Adding pictures to spam seems to be happening more often these days... here is a good example just in.
Note the quality of the portrait against the poor quality of the underlying scanned ID card. If youre goig to fake ID, at least get it done 'Professionally'... Oh and don't put another of your own email addresses in the 'To' field either, it's not cool!
Hello,

How are you doing? Please do not be embarrassed about my unsolicited e-mail to you. I am in  need of your assistance, My name is Nicholas Hamilton,a West Point Graduate and a 1st Lieutenant in the US Army currently serving at the Engineering Unit of US Military here in Ba’qubah in Iraq; we have about $10.7 Million that we want to move out of the country. This money was found in two boxes some time ago during our routine raid around the base by me and Sgt David Scot. I need a good partner, someone I can trust to receive the funds on my behalf. You have nothing to be afraid of as the money is not illegal and I have a good worked out plans to get it to you. The most important thing is; “Can I Trust you”? Once the funds get to you, simply take out 20% as your share and keep the remaining 80% for me and my partner. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to, ours is  sending it to you safely.

If you are interested I will furnish you with more details upon receipt of your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. I look forward to your reply and co-operation.I have kept this money for so long but right now that President Barrack Obama is serious about moving us (the last  troop) out December 2013.I need to get this cash out ASAP.


I have attached my official military ID card for you to know me in person.

Regards,
Lt. Nicholas Hamilton
