World Pay Scam?

PrettyBoy

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I had to ask about this email I received yesterday. It's from "shopper@worldpay.com" - I had never heard of WorldPay.com but Googled it and it seems to be a legitimate website. The email subject title was "WorldPay CARD transaction Confirmation".

The body of the email is as follows:

I'm not too familiar with these things, I'm hoping it's a scam email and I can delete it but wanted to ask here before I do. Can anyone advise?

Did you buy anything online for hat value?
Did you check your bank account?

I didn't buy anything of that value. Going to the bank this afternoon to check if there was a transaction.

Call the number on the back of your debit/credit card. They'll tell you quickly without the hassle of queueing in the bank.

It's sounds like a scam, if you were to contact them at that email address provided probably she will ask you to send your credit card number details to check, If you want to contact them use the contact details in their own website.

Your credit card company can check if there was any charges or attempt to charge to your credit card.

I would say obviously a scam. Even if someone had your credit card details, why and how would an order be placed using your email address? That would never happen. If you're ordering on a stolen credit card, you don't send the receipts to the card's owner to tip them off that you've stolen their card.

It's a phishing scam. Delete and move on.

The use of a gmail account poorly dressed up as a supplier account and the use of a very generic company name are clear pointers to a scam
