Another bogus E Mail
 
For a few weeks I've been getting regular Emails from a firm calling itself DHL Express, saying they have tried to deliver a parcel but had the wrong address, then asking me to click on the link and down load the invoice and collect the parcel from their depot. considering that I'm not missing any parcel or waiting for anything its deleted immediately. Just shows what lengths these con men will go to, pity they don't get a proper job :(

I too have been getting these emails, I now am the proud owner of a 40" Plasma T.V., 4 top range mobile 'phones, a 30' greenhouse & an Ironing board, (this I haven't unpacked because it didn't come with instructions).

:cool:

I checked the e-mail address of the person to whom it was sent, it is not even me. :confused:

Why do people reply to these emails? They only confirm that it is a working email address. Chances are the return address is fake anyway so they are just creating more spam email.
