I just received this email, it's pretty obvious, that it's a scam, it doesn't even say what you are supposed to have ordered? It states at the bottom if you want to cancel this order, download the cancelation form from the link at the bottom of the page, fill it out and return it.

If you are able to use the webmail of your provider, you may try opening this mail in Edge, right-click on the line of the link and select 'Inspect'. You may see where they try to bring you...
Reporting it back to your provider as 'phishing' usually stops them.

If you did not order, don't download that file, just report it as phishing or remove it.

I get those scams often and of course they are obvious scams. They are captured in my spam box. Good, they can go away.
