Credit card scam re Bidz.com

I received this email earlier today from Bidz.com. :eek: I'm a bit worried but think it is just a scam. I've not clicked the link. Can anyone advise if they have had the same please? even spellings are incorrect!

Thanks

    Yep, sounds like a scam to me! If there was a real problem they wouldn't contact you like this, if you're still worried go to the official site (type in the address yourself) and log in normally. There would be information there if there was a problem.
