Scam or legit?
I got an email this morning with this title:
AMAZON has an important Notification of payment For you! It appears to be from "Amazon.com" Between the < and the > is this: admin@ph.regtt.online The body of the email states "Amazon Prime 1 year free" Seems too good to be true... there is a "GET YOURS NOW!" button... I would like to try the service for free, seems fishy- What do you guys and gals think, scam??

I'll report it to Amazon, thanks!
I did not find anything on snopes or a basic search, it looks legit except the sender's address is not at all right... Seems like if you have that much skill you could get legitimate work, jerks!

Most are looking for your login info.
Don't click on links, go to a website directly, either through favorites, or typing it in. If I hover mouse pointer over a link, it will show the redirected address.

ph.regtt.online is certainly not an amazon domain.
I usually go wtih "if I have to ask if its a scam, its a scam."

My spidey senses were tingling when I looked at the message... then again it may have just been coffee kicking in. Thanks!
