Emails from Amazoon

Yes, you saw that correctly!  Many spammers and malware issuers are purposely misspelling the domains that their emails come from.  This allows them to look KIND OF like a big name company such as UPS or Amazon, but obviously they’re not!  Unsuspecting users will just glance at the domain, and ignore the misspellings, assuming that the email MUST be from that big company, right??
