Bad Guys

I got an email claiming to be from Amazon, which redd as follows:
"We lock your Amazon account and hold all your last orders.
"We took this action, because the billing information you provided did not match the information in the card issuer file.
"To unlock the account, you can click the button below and proceed with identity verification to prove that it is your account."
And blah, blah, blah, if I don't do this within 24 hours Amazon will close my account forever.
I'm sca-a-a-red.
I re-logged in to Amazon, and it worked fine. I bought and downloaded a kindle book just to be sure, and everything worked fine.
The warning notice was on plain white background, the only graphic being the Amazon logo up in the corner.
I knew it was a fake. I did. Really. I may be bush league but I'm not stupid.
Did y'all get this?

I get random email that sounds like that maybe a few times per week. They use Amazon, Bank of America, Walmart, Facebook, Google, American Express etc.
Obvious (I hope) nonsense.

I got this today...
Hello!
Have you recently noticed that I have e-mailed you from your account?
Yes, this simply means that I have total access to your device.For the last couple of months, I have been watching you.
Still wondering how is that possible? Well, you have been infected with malware originating from an adult website that you visited. You may not be familiar with this, but I will try explaining it to you.With help of the Trojan Virus, I have complete access to a PC or any other device.
This simply means I can see you at any time I wish to on your screen by simply turning on your camera and microphone, without you even noticing it. In addition, I have also got access to your contacts list and all your correspondence.You may be asking yourself, "But my PC has an active antivirus, how is this even possible? Why didn't I receive any notification?" Well, the answer is simple: my malware uses drivers, where I update the signatures every four hours, making it undetectable, and hence keeping your antivirus silent.
I have a video of you wanking on the left screen, and on the right screen - the video you were watching while masturbating.
Wondering how bad could this get? With just a single click of my mouse, this video can be sent to all your social networks, and e-mail contacts.
I can also share access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.All you have to do to prevent this from happening is - transfer bitcoins worth $1450 (USD) to my Bitcoin address (if you have no idea how to do this, you can open your browser and simply search: "Buy Bitcoin").
My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 17wkbqoaUCUUxw3N1QocutFJTH47Zb8jPQ
After receiving a confirmation of your payment, I will delete the video right away, and that's it, you will never hear from me again.
You have 2 days (48 hours) to complete this transaction.
Once you open this e-mail, I will receive a notification, and my timer will start ticking.Any attempt to file a complaint will not result in anything, since this e-mail cannot be traced back, same as my bitcoin id.
I have been working on this for a very long time by now; I do not give any chance for a mistake.If, by any chance I find out that you have shared this message with anybody else, I will broadcast your video as mentioned above.
I get this about once a month.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think everybody gets them. Hopefully most everybody by now can recognize spam. I got one today that was not spam from Social Security about Joe's new internet giveaway. But it wanted me to identify myself. Uh, no. I don't even click on things I know are legit because there's always another way to get there.
