BerettaSV10 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Looks like a scam had simular ones in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yes, it's a scam. I've had 2 of these messages and the language is so odd that they rang alarm bells straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thanks for assuming PW members are bloody daft If you get a message about something you haven't ordered how could it be anything other than a scam?

Sha Bu Le Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yup its a scam get them regularly, they quite often have a phone number to ring to check on your "parcel" It will be a very expensive 08 number and will cost you a packet. If there is an attachment it could well be a virus or a trojan designed to find your passwords bank accounts etc and send them to the sender. Never call the number or open an attachment ATB Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinty1 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I also received an email yesterday from "Paypal" entitled "Notification of Limited Account Access RXI033", quick search of internet also showed this to be a scam, so be careful.
