feeling worried

Hi i received this email today but havent ordered anything bank has no money taken as yet there was also a file attached saying invoice but this appears to be a .exe file.Email from order@nike.com.
Unsure what to do.

Dear Customer,

Good news! We have received your payment and your order will be processed EO20260..... Invoice (Details attached)


If you ordered a product and a product NikeStore.com custom NIKEiD, you will receive several bills:

- The first invoice that you receive includes all products NikeStore.com
- You Will Receive your NIKEiD invoice (s) shortly personalized NIKEiD Before the Product is Delivered To The Address That You Provided When Placing your order.
- You should receive an invoice for each product that you ordered NIKEiD.

You'll see the charges appear on electronic signature, which ensures that the invoice has not been amended since it was subject to the Nike team. To check this, you can select the button, followed by the option. Then click on the button, go to the tab and select the button. You can complete this process and return to the invoice using the buttons. If everything went well, you'll see a message appear at the top of the bill that will tell you that the document was "certified by Nike" and he has a "valid signature". If this is not the case, contact customer service Nikestore.com.

We hope that you will be satisfied (e) of your new product ordered on NikeStore.com. Feel free to return to the site to discover all the new styles and colors!

This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this message.

Sincerely,

The team NikeStore
Good Luck and happy 2016 Everyone :smileyhea

    1) Don't open the .exe file (well spotted)
    2) Ignore the email. It is written trying to get you puzzled so you open the exe, then they pwn (techie term!) your box. Delete it and move on. :)

    Ignore it, I get tones of these, You have a tax refund, Paypal limited, Your order, Natwest bank, I never open links in emails i go to the site by typing the URL. I have been caught out once with AOL, I opened the email and typed my password etc never thought anything about it. It turned out my account was being used for spam. I contacted AOL because my account had been suspended and they sorted the mess out. Lesson learned without costing me money.

    anything unexpected that starts with 'dear customer' and contains lines like 'The team NikeStore' shouldn't be worried about.

    mark it as spam & delete. don't ever open attachments
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Another give away is the appalling English. Some of it is totally nonsensical (although it's not a measure that should normally be used to detect spam/viruses - there can be some very convincing ones)
    Never let it get you down... unless it really is as bad as it seems.
