After making some enquiries I have found out this is spam. For a start the real DVDZone company web-site is dvdzone2 and not 22 and I have never ordered anything from them. DVDZone have confirmed it is not from them and they have not taken any money from me . I have also forwarded the e-mail to Spam-Cop. What is the point of this particular spam?. Does it contain a worm or trojan?. Or is it just to scare people into thinking that they have had money taken from them?

I've received the same email - same login details etc. The website now appears to be down.

I think they want you to email them, then they'll "query" the order details and get your bank details from you.
