My wife has received a couple of emails in the past days or so, claiming to be from Ikea, informing her that the delivery has been shipped.
And the email looks genuine too. Except… we haven’t ordered anything (ever) from Ikea, so this has to be spam.
I wanted to post this on here so that in case you get such an email, you’ll know it’s rubbish, and is probably a phishing email - here’s screen-shot:
Obviously, using the official logos isn’t a new trick, but getting the English words spelt properly, however, is. Although, on inspection, they have misspelled my wife’s first name, which is odd, as one would assume that somehow these would have been harvested from somewhere.
Either way, if you get one and you know that it’s not real, please just delete it and do not click any of the links within. Don’t reply either, as that’s just as bad.
