The next page phishes for even more information:
And now it goes after your credit card information:
And having stolen all your information, you get a nice message to say thank-you:
The hapless victim then gets sent to the genuine Amazon.com website.
In most email clients, floating over the link would clearly demonstrate that this was not the legitimate amazon.com website, and certainly once visited (not something I would recommend) then the address bar at the top of the browser would clearly indicate it is not amazon.com.
If you have accidentally clicked through this email and provided all the details then you should contact your bank immediately and also change your Amazon password plus any other places that you use that same username/password combination.
