This purports to have come from Fidelity Investments International and looks like an invitation to download a Virus to me.

    No name = goes in the bin. But if you do have an account with them you'd be able to go directly to the website and check from there

    if you ever get anything like that - go to your bookmarks or do a google/bing/yahoo/swagbucks search to log into your account ( if you actually have one !!!:) )

    unfortunately the number of phishing scams ( where you receive an official looking email that is actually from someone else ) is increasing. depending on the browser you use, if you place your cursor over the link it may bring up in the bottom left hand corner ( at least in FF ) the actual destination of the link. if it doesnt match then 100% its a scam or virus attempt.

    If this is genuine it's possible someone mistyped their email address and is now wondering why they're not getting any notifications.
  • Hi,

    I have a S&S Isa with TD Waterhouse, and get a notification every 3 months re online statement.

    It is addressed to Dear Mr Xxx, and advises me to go to https://www.etc to view document, it never includes a link.

    So, I would say bin it, though, as already said, if you do have an account with Fid, then use your link or go direct.
