When I order something from Amazon not long after I get emails from various

The messages are coming through an old email address that is badly spam

I had that very thing happen to me on an order from Amazon about ten days
ago. The phishing was via a note from UPS that they couldn't deliver a
package, but to get it I had to give them my credit card number ... at the
time I was surprised, since it followed close on the heels of one delivery
and right while I was waiting for another. So, almost plausible. But as
usual, the phishing email was so clumsily written and executed that there
was no question but that it was a fake.
Yep that's it.
Here is what I got.
Dear Customer,
We attempted to deliver your item at 1:30pm on 14th January, 2020.

hours, it will be returned to the sender.
