Never placed any orders with this company and certainly won't click the link.

Anyone else had anything similar?
 
That looks very convincing. I'd have a long hard look at the link to see where it goes...
 
There seems to be a lot of these types of emails
I have had a few myself from the likes of Amazon
And PayPal saying that I had bought certain items
they usually say if you have not bought them click
The link at the bottom of the page this Is just a scam
So they can get your details
 
Hi,
As above, ^ I seem to get a lot of emails from Amazon, with stuff I have supposedly ordered and also sold to others ( I only sell on Fleabay )and "Please click here" oh yeah !!
I seem only to have gotton these since I signed up to Prime though.
Of course everything just gets deleted.

I've had 3 people this week emailing me that they had paid me circa $350k via paypal :D

At this rate I'll be buying the EU
