    just checked one of my email accs, and had an unusal email, below is text from it
    Good day,

    We have received a parcel for you, sent from France on July 9. Please fill out the customs declaration attached to this message and send it to us by mail or fax. The address and the fax number are at the bottom of the declaration form.

    Kind regards,
    **** ********
    Your Customs Service

    slightly suspiciuos, as have not ordered anything, not expecting anything, and dont know anyone i can think of, who lives in france

    the email that it originates from is a .jp, has no other references to customs apart from the above text, no logos, no other links, infact, apart from the attachment, the text above is the only other thing in the email, attachment is a zip file, now not going to open the attachment, as like i said, not expecting anything, but has anyone received anything similar, or any scams like this going around
