It is because autocorrect in Outlook has a setting to capitalize automatically. It was turned off.

That could definitely happen where I work. We have a lot of people who use caps lock for all capitalization purposes, so there is room for that to be busted, and now they are having to hold the shift key down while pushing a letter. Mayhem ensues!

Accountants, accountants everywhere do this in my experience.

So many old school systems are caps only - those systems drive me bonkers!

Not gonna lie, that made me almost spit coffee all over my screen. It's almost as bad as writing out instructions on how to access/navigate our new Student Info System and still having users ask questions when it is in the doc. RTFM!!!

Fucking seriously Amazon?

@jaredbusch What's the issue? I don't get it.

This is every phishing email ever.

Shit.. I have to admit - if I gave to craps about HD music, I would have fallen for that one if it was fake... yeah, bad form Amazon!

What are they supposed to do?

Well, if it is actually from Amazon, wouldn't that be considered marketing instead of phishing?
Not saying I agree with it the email as I have many other issues with it.

It is a legitimate email from Amazon. But it is nothing but a click bait click here to get something free email. When you work and work and work to train your users to not click on shit it seems too good to be true, but then a legitimate company sends out bullshit like this.

Other than smarter users, I don't see this problem going away.
Vendors know they need to present a near zero friction experience if they want customers - i.e. putting in a plan text link like amzn.com/shorturl and asking the customer to copy and paste it into a browser is a fail, and a fail for more than one reason.
Sadly - even the smartest, most well intention people will get tripped up - was tired, super busy and not paying close attention, etc..
While I completely agree with JB that ads like this one (email ads) just suck!, I don't see even legit ones ever going away

Agreed. With the forever issues these emails provide, as @Dashrender pointed out, the best I can hope for is to continue training users and always tell them to hover over the link before clicking to verify the address. Plus my added statement, "If you don't know, the answer is NO!"
From a marketing perspective, my issue with the email is the perceived bonus you get for having an UNLIMITED account (I have one too). We are not getting any bonus for free, its included in the word Unlimited, at least according to the Oxford Dictionary.
