Worrying, though, when you think some will fall for crap like that.
I keep getting Emails supposedly from an American shipping company who say they have tried to deliver a package to my home and there was no one in (I'm in 24/7) it then goes on and asks me to down load an invoice and then collect the package from their depot. For a start never heard of the firm and I haven't ordered anything anyway, yet they keep trying, I must have had about 6 of these Emails in the last three months, in fact the latest one was only this morning
