I'm not sure where to post this ,but this is the second mail I have received this week. I dont know the sender ,or what order they are talking about and I definitely haven't ordered something of this value.
I have just gnored it . Does it ring a bell with anyone ?

Re: Fraudulent mail?
This is a fraudulent email from someone trying to get you to open the attached file. Once that file is opened you can be infected with any number of virus or malware. The address it was sent from is one of the Yahoo chat group members out of the US that has been hacked it would appear.
Delete and ignore !

Re: Fraudulent mail?
Agreed!! Delete without question. Any unexpected email, usually with dubious English as yours was should be deleted without clicking on any form of link.
DELETE!
Also, seeing as we are on the subject; also hang up on any automated (or real) message on the phone that often relates to broadband, computer issues, etc. even if they do say they are from Microsoft..........
