10 Hilariously Obvious Scam Emails (That You've Probably Been Sent)
8. Congratulations! You Are The Winner Of A Discount Coupon For 90%!
Don't you just love it when companies contact you with a totally genuine offer of 90% off any purchase from their online store? This silly scam claims that the recipient has been awarded a super special discount code for Amazon (that obviously can only be redeemed at the specific link in the email). Nowhere in the email does it state a spending limit, so presumably you could buy the entirety of Amazon's stock at only 10% of the cost. Example:
