The message below (shown in yellow) is a phishing scam – it’s not a real message from Amazon.com. It’s an attempt to steal your credit card information.

If you get an email message like this one that says a $1400 charge has been placed on your account, your natural reaction is to immediately call the company to stop the phony charge. And that’s exactly what the scammer here hopes you will do, because the company phone number listed in the message is not a real number: it goes straight to the scammer. “Yes, Mr. Jones, I can cancel that order for you. Just give me your card number and date of birth please….”

That’s the trap. You think you’ve cancelled a phony order, but in fact you’ve just given your private information away to a thief.

This is a classic example of a password phishing scam. (Read more about how phishing scams work.) The message claims to be from a real bank, but in fact it comes from a scammer trying to steal your bank account information. The attachment (deleted and deactivated here) asks you to enter your private account information, which would then be sent automatically not to the bank, but to the scammer.

This is a standard phishing scam message aimed at people who may have an Apple computer ID. It is not a legitimate message from Apple: it is an attempt to steal your passwords and other private account information. (The scam link is deactivated in the copy below for safety.)

You should always be suspicious of unsolicited email messages that ask you to click on a link and enter private information. That is how scammers can gain access to your private accounts.

Some of the most dangerous scams are the ones that take a bullying/threatening approach to potential victims. “You are in trouble,” or “Your payment is overdue,” or, in this case, “You must appear in court.”

But ask yourself: would any real legal notice come from an email address at “tesene.info” (whatever that is)? And it’s a message from “State Court” — but what state? Clearly the scammer would never specify a particular location because the message is going to be blasted to thousands of random people all over the world, and if the supposed location wasn’t near you, you’d immediately recognize it as a scam.

Subject: Notice to Appear in Court
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015
From: “State Court” alfredo.peck@dc.tesene.info

Notice to Appear,

You have to appear in the Court on the August 13.
Please, prepare all the documents relating to the case and bring them to Court on the specified date.

The Court Notice is attached to this email.
