I cannot seem to get rid of these and they are arriving more frequently. It is a scam - this is not the email I use for Amazon and they do not send out such messages anyway. I have created a rule to send them automatically to "garbage" at my Outlook account but they just keep coming, Is there anything I can do to stop this annoying stuff. Thanks.

I would check the actual email address and mail server they're sending from and then block those.

Ideally, I would move to a different email account since your details have effectively been compromised. If one group of scammers as it then it is only time until your email address is sold to other scammers as well.

Thanks. I have blocked numerous times. They change one character and that's all it takes. Like the robo phone calls. You can block till you are blue i the face - one letter or number is changed and they just keep coming. I just let those go on the answering machine and then delete but these other Amazon scams are piling up. I just blocked two of them - so we'll see. Thanks again.

I will go back into Outlook rules section and try to set that up again. These emails all look the same but I'm sure they are changing one character to avoid the block. Do you think that may be the case? Pain in the neck!! Thanks again.

Possibly, you'll have to check that in the email header though.

I went back into my deleted files and looked at the headers for the many AZ service scams. All different entires. I had been reporting as fishing and they just kept coming. Yesterday I placed a block on the one I received and today, so far, have not received any. In light of what I said in this post, don't understand why it worked but certainly glad it did.

I'm glad you managed to block them now, hopefully you won't receive anymore.

Also consider reporting that to Amazon.

I was wondering about doing that. Think I will. Thanks.
