Yeah, it's obviously going to be an American phone number with an address like this.

Is your email address the sort where someone might have a similar one that they may have typed into the order form incorrectly?

As far as I can tell the email addy is the only thing that ties this to you.

LOL has no body actually received these kind of emails before? It's a fake email (well, mine have been)... I've received emails from a handful of companies thanking me for my purchase and saying if I didn't order it, click here. Clicking here confirms my email address and I get bombarded with spam. I bet the ORDER STATUS link is the link they want you to click.

Similarly, I had one last week from 'paypal' saying thank you for payment of this $400 phone. It said in big large letters, if you want to dispute this transaction click here. I didn't as closer inspection showed it was a random link with some affilliation number and the email headers weren't from paypal. Checking my paypal account, no transaction had taken place.

Black Dyke Mills brass band, now that takes me back to school days, about 20 years ago, I used to be ina lot of brass bands and did a hell of a lot of competitions, They were and still are one of the best UK Brass bands out there.

Oh how that takes me down memory lane
