What should I do with this email - has someone used my credit card?

Dodgy email - HELP!?


Ok here's the thing.





I just got an email in my bulk folder, not addressed to my email but to another yahoo account, but somehow I got it instead.





It refers to a purchase made on a credit card for jewelly totalling over 700 quid. The payment has been rejected because "Visa Overdraft has exceded limit."





I havent ordered jewellry, and I cant find out if this was my credit card used because those details are in an attachment that Im too scared to open.





What should I do? Should I email the person it was intended for? Should I delete it? Should I open the attachment? HELP!

No, do not open it. It is probably a scam and if you open it then it might dump a trojan horse onto your machine. Delete it.





Call up your credit card and see what the status is. Do NOT go by anything you get in some unknown email.





This same email probably went out to a million people.
Reply:Don't open the attachement. It's trying to get you to reveal your creidit card details. Forward it to your bank. Or just delete it.
Reply:All you have to do is call your credit card company if your worried and talk to them,


The email is a scam. ignore it. delete it.
Reply:your card company (or at least mine do) should ring you if you do that sort of thing, but to be certain ring them with details of the email etc
Reply:id deleted it, it could be a virus and then u will have more trouble, if the email does not contain ur full name then its def fake just delete it, to be on the safe side, delete the email and check with the bank and enquiry about the overdraft error or just check ur account by a cash machine to check ur money is safe





hope it helps
Reply:its been put in your bulk folder for a reason.....because it has detected that it is a spam e-mail.....so no just delete it as it is most definately a scam setup by evil robbing sods who prey on people like yourself who are unsure if it is real or not
Reply:Ignore it. Its a scam, don't in an circumstances give any personal details to the sender. If it is important, you credit card issuer will contact you by phone. Same if it was sent to you by mistake - the correct person will also be contacted by phone.
Reply:erm, phone your credit card company and ask them.
Reply:Delete it. I've been getting mail like that, too. My one credit card does not even know I have a yahoo email and I received an email at yahoo "from them" stating my card was charged, blah, blah





I have also been getting from "paypal," which again, they don't know yahoo addy. The paypal I forward to them. I went to their website, and if you look around there, you will find what to do with fraud emails.





Really, though, don't respond, just delete. Don't ever click on a link. There probably is no other person, other than someone bad waiting for you to do just that, forward to them, so don't, I say.
Reply:Its a SCAM!!!!!!!! 3rd time this question has been raised here today.
