Attached is an archive file AM-ORDER-65HNA1972.zip (VirusTotal detections 9/47) which in turn contains a malicious executable AM-ORDER-65HNA1972.exe (VirusTotal detections 9/49) which has an icon to make it look like some sort of document.

Received this scam today at 01.00. The scam was obvious - particularly since I don't have any current orders with Amazon.Nevertheless I am grateful that I use Linux, which wouldn't run a .exe file.
