Am not very computer savvy, but if you look at the header of the e-mail - pasted in below - and the Whois query, also pasted in below, could it actually have come from Poland?<br /><br />Header:<br />Received: (qmail 17228 invoked by uidAltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371082832697713472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804714437673009003.post-64882936484419150192015-07-23T09:36:18.411+01:002015-07-23T09:36:18.411+01:00@Muchyt22.. this has been spammed out very widely,...@Muchyt22.. this has been spammed out very widely, targeting UK email addresses. Tens of thousands of people use the crossing every day, so the spammers are hoping that they will be more likely to click through. These spam runs happen most days and pretend to be from a variety of sources, including water cooler companies and carpet shops.<br /><br />I'm interested that the genuine attachment Conrad Longmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751822299235747323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804714437673009003.post-58074190788728029842015-07-22T22:39:33.603+01:002015-07-22T22:39:33.603+01:00I live in Devon and have never visited Kent nor th...I live in Devon and have never visited Kent nor the Dartford tunnel. So it must be a spam email.<br /><br />I too, today received this odd email with no text just the payment receipt attachment and will delete it without opening it.<br /><br />Just thought I ought to share it as this site has been very helpful.Isi Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515798161999874598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804714437673009003.post-56561896522983856302015-07-22T18:03:38.290+01:002015-07-22T18:03:38.290+01:00Is this really a coincidence?

We live in Scotland, but were on a rare visit to Kent, using the Dartford Tunnel for the first time in many years, paying the full charge over the phone within 24 hours, in early June. Received a penalty notice by post several weeks ago claiming £5 was still due for a one way travel, although this had in fact already been paid. We sent off a letter immediately Muchty22https://www.blogger.com/profile/06923308505403615179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804714437673009003.post-83848739424778038932015-07-22T17:01:15.109+01:002015-07-22T17:01:15.109+01:00@Richard, yes it really is just a coincidence.

I then went of the official Gov website and paid about 2 weeks ago.<br /><br />So question is. Is this just a coincidence? As how have the spammers got my address? Has Gov system been hacked? As I used my work email. No viruses or malware on my PC as have checked.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346814208312900978noreply@blogger.com
