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.
