Now I am 99% sure that it's fishy but would like confirmation from the kind members of OcUK.

I can certainly see why people get caught out so badly.

"We have noticed several attempts of fraud. Seems like a third party tried to access your account."

Ok.

Addressed to "Customer", not your name: Check.
Bad Grammar: Check
Incorrect Link: Check
Request to Verify Account Information: Check
Original Email Address Not Correct: Check

5/5. Prepare for ridicule.

As I thought.

Why ridicule though? I haven't actually clicked any link or supplied any information.

Uuughh, not another thread like this? Couldn't be more obvious if the scammer smeared "SCAM" in massive letters with their own faeces all over the email.

Did you read my post? I said I was 99% sure it was scam/junk.

But still you had to check, and therefore you are worse than a murdering peadophile. Expect the full wrath of the internet, and keyboard shaped bruises on your forehead.

PK!
