The phone number is the correct one for Virgin Mobile USA.
But it's a US Freefone one, so if you ring it, nothing will happen.
I can't see how there's any fraud involved, probably they just got an incorrect email address. Just delete it.0 -
Check the Fedex tracking number - and see if you can work out (don't know if they show target addresses) who it's addressed to?
But a good idea to keep a close eye on your Credit Card for the next few days? Get online access if you are able to - much more up to date view and faster / cheaper than ringing.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0
