All that aside - have you ordered Gift Certificate? I'm guessing not hence why you are not sure if the email was genuine.

You may want to check your machine over. It maybe that your account was compromised elsewhere, but you may have something on your machine that's leaked your account details.

Better to be safe than sorry.
 
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

No- never ordered a Gift Certificate. There is no record off it either on my purchase history and no receipt for it either.

runing avg anti virus and spybolt right now.
