This time they tried it on me! I got this email:

It's not one of the most convincing I've seen. The email address from which it supposedly came wasn't an Amazon one and I don't have a Prime account. I wasn't tempted to click on the link - which is disabled in this post.
There is no obvious link on the Amazon website to allow for reporting a phishing scam such as this.
