Possible identity theft - help please!

gandalf

I work away from home during the week (I live in East Anglia and work near London).

A few days back I received another strange mail from a council in Scotland about a business rate. I replied to them asking why this was sent to me, but haven’t heard back. I deleted the mail without thinking much of it.

Now, I have received an email in my work email address, with the attached e-ticket of a show at Bournemouth Pavilion theartre. The money was paid with a credit card whose last 4 digits indicate it’s not mine. The amount paid was £145.

I haven’t received any suspicious mails in my home address – no bills, nothing.

I don’t know which bank or credit card company issued the credit card. All I have is the last 4 digits and the fact that it's a Mastercard.

What should I do?

Help, please!

OK, looks like it's a malware infection attempt rather than identity theft.

Just found this: http://myonlinesecurity.co.uk/confirmation-order-number-fake-pdf-malware/

Plus called Bournemouth Theatre and they are overwhelmed by similar calls. A large number of people are calling them.

Looks that way, just seen this on Hot Deals;

I've just had loads of messages "from" Bournemouth Pavilion theatre this morning too.

I wouldn't worry about it.
