Dodgy E-mail

Vedder2008

I received an e-mail today from "My Security Center" saying thankyou for your order with us.

Neither me nor my son have ordered anything from them and i have checked with my credit cards online and there is no record of any such transaction with them neither online or at the bank.

Its asking me to uninstall my current antivirus and download and install their product, obviously some kinda of spyware scam. It kind of took me back beacuse this one looked VERY professional, I have ordered legit things before online and they didn't look this professional.

Was wondering if anyone else has received one these ?

You mean no spelling mistakes and correct grammar? Definitely a very disturbing development if this is the case!

I'm not sure who these can be reported to, but I do think that many scam emails have always been poorly done so it's no surprise if they are starting to look more professional. Is there any chance of a screenshot?

Sorry i've already deleted them. What i meant by professional was that, usually those scam e-mails are just a simple e-mail typed out like "Bank of Kenya you have won whatever" but this one had everything, nice page header, privacy policy at the bottom of the page, order ref numbers and yes correct spelling and grammar .
