It is a receipt for a 1913 Old Hebrew Bible, which has been billed to a store credit card for $75. I do not know of this order, this store, and have no store card with this organisation. There is a section at the end which asks if I have issues with the transaction, Tells me to click on the 'link below' in order to get a full refund. There is an order number, receipt number, and they appear to use Spark as their provider......
I have a lovely New King James Bible (well worn now), and would never have ordered a Hebrew Bible.
Has anyone else received such an e-mail, and what is an e-mail address for the Police where I can forward this e-mail to them.

Is there no end to the scams these people will try, trouble is that this time it is a Spark NZ address...........
