Header said it's from Amazon.com.
It said my subscription for product xyz will be delivered next week.

Thought I cancelled that subscription so clicked on link to cancel it.
Entered my username/password.
But I couldn't easily tell how to cancel it on that page.

Googled how to cancel and clicked that link, which brought me to my Amazon subscription page.
But I had no subscriptions!

So I thought I got phished but the email link was for a not so popular product I did buy.

Looked over the email again. Still seemed legit.
Looked at the page the link sent me to. Also looked like my acct page.
Found the cancel.
Got email from Amazon saying subscription canceled.

Go figure

IIRC, the newest phishers have hacked actual servers of legit websites hacked so that the phishing emails have the "legit" email address.
