Got fake Amazon order confirmation today saying that somebody who's name I don't know ordered a 40" Samsung TV from one of the Amazon storefronts and is having it shipped to me. (If it were only true!)

The only link that's suspicious is the one for the order number which goes to a URL in the Netherlands.

Bottom line: If it's too good to be true, there's malware lurking....
