SCAM of the day, don't fall for it!!!! ......
You will receive a exploratory email from someone you know but it won't really be from them and it will say something like:
Sorry to bother you, do you order from Amazon?
If you respond you will get to the heart of the scam:
So happy i got your response, I am sorry for bothering you with this mail, but i got no choice, I've been trying to purchase a $200 Amazon E-gift card by email from Amazon, but it says they are having issues charging my card. I contacted my bank and they told me it would take a couple of days to get it sorted. I intend to buy it for a friend of mine who's having her birthday today, unfortunately she is down with cancer of the liver and I'd promised to get the card for her today, can you purchase it from your end for me? I'll reimburse you once my bank sorts the issue out.. Let me know so I can send you her email address.
