  im not there to experience what you have in front of you, but there are some very good ones out there that play games, manipulating URLs or straight up proxy botting other computers. they usually give a talk similar to what you posted, often there is an urgent deadline when "account charges are final and non-refundable" they just want a click on a link or a mouse farm [harvesting natural mouse movement to spoof bot detection]

    I went on desktop and looked at the email’s html, it links to real Amazon URLs. If the hackers own my iPhone and my Windows desktop I am truly fucked!

      Better to just copy-paste the url to the url bar, delete the domain, and type it in yourself. Then you at least know that the scammers have figured out how to get Amazon to forward their scam, so it was both you and Amazon that got suckered. Personally, though, I'd never follow a link in an email that I hadn't requested. If I can't get to the information through my Amazon account, I'm going to consider it bullshit, and even if it turns out not to be, the fact that I couldn't get to the information through Amazon itself will make a good ground for contesting any claims or charges.

    >a mouse farm [harvesting natural mouse movement to spoof bot detection] surely there are better ways of getting visitors to your site than sending phishing emails?

      yes im sure there are, for example offer a product that primarily serves the user. some people are so pathological, they will take big negatives to preserve "my way or the highway" consider the legendary chair brandishing executive for example.
