Another so-called 'Spark' scam in our email boxes
An encouragement to apply for a 'refund' on a supposedly twice-paid invoice made to Spark. If you don't click on the button to claim the overpayment within 12 days you won't receive the refund.
Be warned:
(a) there is a typo in the very unprofessional beginning - "Hello ,"
(b) Email address DOES NOT RELATE TO THE REAL SPARK.
(c) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE their customers to do any such thing.
(d) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT SET A TIMELINE on pressing any such button so DON'T DO IT!
