I just had the following email appear in my inbox, and I am not opening it because it just looks so much like spam/scam.
From - ConsumerAffairs
Title - Verify your email address
The weird thing is, that until now, all of this rubbish has been going to the spam box. This one seems to have got through - any reasons - anyone.
Cheers.

Ignore it.
As with any dubious unsolicited email. If it's tht important they'll write/have your phone number.
Beware also some really nasty ones that nearly got me:
noreply@hmrc.gov.uk (spoofed header) Your tax return information.
noreplyefees@landregistry.gsi.gov.uk (again, spoofed) Notificaiton of Direct Debit of fees
Oh no you don't! Click click click... hmm a virus.request for my bank details....
Very sneaky.0
