This phishing had me confused for a moment...
Until I realized it was a variation of the Paypal Invoice scam. You place a real order, but with email that's a reflector address, going to tons of people. BUT you put your scam message in the address field, hoping people will call you. The links in the message are all legitimate, but won't show this "order" so they hope you will call.

Of course they screwed up and put the state in lower case which makes this more obvious. Not to mention the bad punctuation. Of course, AI is going to make these kinds of obvious errors more frequent.
