Just thought i'd warn you guys....there is a VERY realistic looking e mail going round saying that you have bought a postcard for $699....i was a little shaken at first thinking someone had hacked my account but i've seen others saying they have had the same thing, must be a phishy email!!

Can you screen shot it? Would be helpful to see it. Cheers

i'm really sorry, i deleted it as i **** myself lol

it looks pretty much exactly like an itunes receipt bill email......but my account is in £ and it came in $ so knew something was up....also near the bottom it said something about FBI fraud or something

sorry couldn't be more help but deleted it from my whole email :(

others have had it too...see here:

Thanks for the heads up.

I've been lucky to not get emails like this but I'm always on the lookout.

There is not a day go by when I have to empty 10-15 scammer emails from the UK!

May the fleas from 1000 camels nest in their crotch!:eek:

Thanks much, guys, for the heads-up. I would have panicked if I had received that sucker without warning.:D
