Department71 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just had an e-mail from France Telecom/Orange? have copied it below, received this via my E-mail account linked to my internet account with FT. I think it is a con, anyone else had the same, must admit had a bit of a scare before we went through it. Did have my suspicions on this as my name wasn't shown on the e-mail. I take it, it is normal practice in France for companies to put your name on e-mails as they do in the UK.Ps I applied for access Libre back in September with Orange, had never given the e-mail address to anyone, never used it, went on for the first time and already had e-mails from sexy Monica, Sophie etc.----- Original Message ----- From: "France Telecom" <[email protected]>To: ########@orange.frSent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 3:36 PMSubject: mettre a jour vous coordonnes !> Cher (e) client (e) :> > Nous somme au regret de vous apprendre qu on date du 08 novembre 2009 et au cours d un traitement informatique de routine concernant les prelevements mensuels effectues sur le> compte de notre clientele abonnee,nous avons malencontreusement impute la somme six cent quatre-vingt-dix (600.90 euros).> > A fin de vous faire benificier du remboursement de cette somme indument prelevee sur votre votre compte,,nous vous prions de vous connecter sur le lien qui apparait en dessous de> ce message et nous fournir les renseignements necessaires a l etablissement de votre fiche special remboursement .> > Merci de votre comprehension> > Cliquer ici pour proceder a l tablissement de votre fiche : http://www.radiometro.it/media/INBOX/info.htm> > > > Nb :> > - Notre service facturation vous contactera dans un delai de 48 h pour vous confirmer le remboursement .veuillez fournir un numero de telephone joignable.> > > > Bien a vous.> > Service Client> > France telecom & orange > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Since the address that it purports to have come from (pixmania) is not an FT address (and even this one has probably been spoofed), and since the site that they want you to go to is "radiometro.it", it's a dead cert that this is a scam. File it in the bin.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Absolutely a scam as Pickles has said.FurtherIf FT are taking money by prelevement, why do they need any details for your reimbursement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Get them every day amongst others. Orange has warned us about them. Bin straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Department71 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks for the input everyone, yes it has been binned.Hope it is also a warning to others.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 You can advise Orange of 'iffy' emails at [email protected] . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Orange emails generally get binned by me unless it contains the bill. Their emails are nearly as bad as spam, always trying to sell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Department71 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Bugbear, yes I did eventually manage to send them one, but I had problems doing it. I am using Outlook express in the UK ISP is Talktalk, I can receive e-mails from Orange.fr, but it seems I am unable to send e-mails to Orange through my talktalk account by using my orange profile, if you understand. But done now.ThanksSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
