In the past two weeks I have gotten e-mails supposedly from Amazon regarding things I supposedly bought. These were high-priced items to be sent to a third party I didn't recognize. There was a phone number for me to call if I wanted to cancel the order or if I had any questions. This is obviously a scam as I do not have an account at Amazon. I am afraid to call the number as it may trigger something more sinister, just like prompts to "click here" do. How do we handle these phishing instances?
