Now fellows
I called my main credit card company to ask them if a charge had been made on my card. They informed me that none had been made.

There were some real looking sales order numbers and customer numbers and email address - but made up some ficticious ones for this example.

So, just guessing - if you call the toll free number to cancel your order - THEY GOT YOU!
So called the credit card company, instead.
If you go online to their website - THEY GOT YOU!
They now have your email server address and who knows what else.
Just wanted to alert and warn you fellows.

I got this too. Calling the number is fine. It takes you to above.net. They have an automated message explaining that they have nothing to do with this spam.
