PC World delivery email - scam?

I have previously entered competitions to win a Samsung phone and this email contains my full name some I'm wondering if it's real but at the same time feel it must be fake!

I would imaging the branding should be Currys or CurrysPCWorld but not just PCWorld.

package is in great value

typical scammers English although that could also be Currys

A_Star

Just a random image from Google ... but if you hover your mouse over the "Confirm" link, what does it say down in the status bar, does it look as if it's going to a legit site?

I wouldn't click any links, I would go to the main Currys/PC World website and use the contact form to see if they can find an order or if they are aware of such a scam.

Yeah, don't click the link obviously ... just hover your mouse over it and the URL that the link will take you to will show in that status bar (image above).

If it's going to Curry's or PCWorld then it's probably ok, if it's going to something entirely different / unexpected then it's most definitely not ok.

Also look at the email address the email was sent from

These emails are a scam. I received the same email and forwarded on to customer.services@currys.co.uk

You could also run the tracking code and see if it's legit.
