Not a bad phish except for the bad design or execution. The links actually take you to a fake Amazon site in Russia and asks for your login. Once they have your Amazon login, they can then order items using your credit card, and ship it to people in the USA who they have already set as “reshippers” (another scam) and then pack the items up and send them overseas to the scammers who can then resell the items.

This one showed up in my Yahoo account this morning and the URLs appearing on mouse-over just looked phishy (the .ru domain always gives me pause, esp. when associated with a well-known US organization or business).
