If you use any of the Amazon services, this may be of value to you.
Today (30 April 2023) I received an unsolicited e-mail as per the following screenshot:

Clicking on the top of the two highlighted links doesn't open a page on the offocial amazon.com website, but instead opens the URL shown in the top arrow, which actually opens URL https://www.shorturl.at/adptK which presents a "Save As" dialog that invites you to download and run the executable AmazonBrowser.exe
Clicking on the second link similarly does not visit a page on the official amazon.com website either, but presents a prompt inviting you to open a spreadsheet file named invoicedue/xlsm
Of course, I didn't take up either of these invitations, because I'm sure they would have caused malware.and/or scamware to get installed and run on my Windows system.
So be on th elookout and avoid what seems to be yet another instance of online threats (which probably won't be restricted to just Amazon).
