Beware spam e-mail

[Anonymous]

I received the following e-mail purporting to be from O2 but actually from the following e-mail: 

mfischer-14@mail.onlinefix.de

It arrived just after my usual monthly bill which I had just had. Don't click on the link & note it does not addess you by your name.   

Hello

Your O2 bill for 24/06/14 is now ready. You can look at your bill here.

In total, your bill for this month comes to £237,82. We'll request this amount from your chosen account on, or just after, the date in your bill.

Best regards

Sadly we are going to see more and more of this type of email purporting to be from many different

major companies

Over the last 3 weeks I personally have received such rubbish from Paypal, Ebay, HSBC and the latest was from Santander bank ....

Easy way for some people to make money......and cause mayhem to others

I flagged it immediately last night too and a mod was logged on - Why did it take until 07.21 this morning to remove it?

I thought exactly the same. I saw it was still here when I logged on...so I flagged it myself..

Ridiculous really...
