If you have gotten any email like the one I posted below, it is FAKE.
The thing is I am not sure what they are trying to do.
When you are unsure of an email one thing you can always count on are
misspelled words, and bad grammar such as in this case when they say the complaint is in respect to their dealership???? What the heck does that even mean?
“with respect to their dealership with you.”
So I looked up the domain which is showing on the bogus link amazonandbeyond.com and it is listed below.
No one answers that phone number of course.
Also it looks like whoever bought it, added the privacy service.
Here is the offical notice about the scam from the BBB, Better Business Bureau.
If you know what exactly the scammers are trying to do please leave it in the comment section.
This one is a bit puzzling for me. I usually can figure out what they are trying to do.
It could be the scam link already got pulled so the infection or rip off they were trying to pull off is no good on this copy I got.
Another tip I can offer you is if you are unsure of an email you have gotten like this, simply copy and paste it into Google and you will find articles and sites like mine telling you if it is a scam. For instance the name signed on this email,

brought up many scam buster articles for me when I googled it.
I will say the scammers are getting more and more tricky.
I will keep posting when I get these emails and know they are a scam.
