The website the link was aimed at can't be found and the sender of the e mail was ksushay@the-evergreen.com. This domain turns out to belong to a catering company in Nthn New Jersey.

I tried to call the number but it goes straight to Virgin Moblie Voicemail and says the mailbox is full.

I have sent Virgin an E Mail advising them of this but not got a reply as yet.


Has anyone had one of these or know what this is about.

I would guess they either sent the email to you by mistake or when you contact them they will try to get your CC info from you. Either way ignore it.

Here's the real question... did you order from them. If not ignore it because you are being phished for personal information.

Hi,

I didn't order anything from them and as I own my own domain name which is not a simple one I guess they got my addy from somewhere.

What makes me wonder is the fact that I used my new Chip and PIN Gold Visa Card down in France last week and now this comes from a supposed Spanish e shop. I just don't get how the domain relates to a catering co in New Jersey, they use a UK Phone number, they don't have a pound symbol key on their PC to type the currency amount( I don't have one on this either).

It is a simple spam scheme.... I had dozens of them. They send you something that resembles an invoice or a problem with an order. You call or email them asking about it. They ask you for your CC number and personal information so they can verify the stuff. You get burned. They catch many stupid people this way. You were not one of them.
