Scam?

[Daij]

Hi

Today I rec'd and email from someone I worked with 30 years ago and have seen since. It read, 

'Hi, I hope this find you well, do you order from do you order from amazon or john lewis? Thank you'

I did not reply. Then, I just rec'd another reading,

'Hi I couldn't tell if you received my last message or not? Please let me know if this message comes through Thank you'

Scam?

Was that all that was said in the message?  There was no small talk or indication of why they wanted to know what they asked.

If so - it is most probably a scam.

I got something similar a few weeks ago but didn't know the person. I assumed it was a scam and deleted it

Didn't address you by name?

It's a phishing e mail.
