I hope this helps...identity theft has been going strong lately..using phishing emals and also using a clone of the original commercial website in fooling you to give your credit card details..Now be cautious on this types of scam, If you haven't purchased a product or service, please forward the email to the website's support group or if the website is itself fraudulent, forward the email with all details about the site and its business to your country or local authorities..
