Or rather, someone posing as them is.

I was just checking my mailbox this morning and this pops in!

My name is Dave and I am from the Support of WorldPay.

We have received the payment order (ID 0220712,Receipt Date 09/07/2006) from you and we need to make a verification of the details you have filled in, as we have received a notice from your card service stating that there was a chargeback made by the owner of the card with which you have made the payment and that your level of authorization has been altered during your last transaction.

This is a very serious matter. We have deducted the amount of the chargeback, GBP 149.89, from your account and added our standard fee of GBP 24.00 as well (you can see your payment details in the attachment).

We have failed to contact you using the telephone number you have provided earlier, meeting no response.

As a precaution, we have limited access to your account in order to protect against future unauthorized transactions.Please understand that this is a security measure intended to help protect you and your personal information.

Please contact your credit card company to resolve this matter.

Best Regards,
Dave Gollick

I shop online quite a bit and some of them I have to pay through WorldPay so I was a little surprised when I saw this. Especially when it was charging in my currency.

But then I saw it was sent to my spam e-mail address and the source was pointing to "softbank220062232040.bbtec.net". The WorldPay e-mail address was spoofed.

Nice try.
