ignore for chrissakes

do not even peep

they will ask you for your bank details to "repay" you and then clean out the account.
Block the sender and delete email. Don't click on the link.
It's in spam for a reason!

I would like to follow Mass Hysteria advice but do not know how to block email, any advice please.
The email will be sitting in your spam/junk folder. click on the little box next to the email and you should have a selection of tabs appear ie delete, move, archive etc and one that says block (or similar) click it and get rid forever.

Hope it helps........don't worry. There are thousands of scammers out there just be careful what you open.

Thanks MH I had already deleted, but if I get anymore I will do as you say, hope you are still enjoying life out in the sticks:-)
Did you notice the date of transaction was 2015? Perhaps that was your typo but, if not, points even more to a very obvious scam.
just delete absolutely everything you are not certain of. never open anything you think 'I wonder what that is'. if it is marked spam delete immediately without opening.
If anyone gets anything like this please forward to [email protected] before deleting so they can investigate and hopefully put a stop to this sort of thing.
