Ocado scam

This /is/ a scam, and a very dangerous one. The payload in the "Receipt.doc" file attempts to auto-download Dridex, which is designed to steal login information regarding your bank accounts (either by key logging, taking auto-screens hots or copying information from your clipboard (copy/paste))

For more information on Dridex, and the terrifyingly-long list of financial institutions for which it tries to gather sensitive information, see :

I've also just had an email from Ocado - saying my delivery is due, with no substitutions and attaching 'my receipt'. (which I'm not opening, needless to say)

I don't use them, and will be informing Ocado, as above.

Seems like a scam to me!

Thanks, I'll do that.

Don't follow any links on the email, go to the Ocado site direct and email them from there to ask what is going on (or on jing's contactus@ocado link) Probaly mistaken identity, but worth pointing it out ot them.

You could email them at [email protected]. Or phone them on 0345 656 1234.

Just to see what they say.

It doesn't really sound like a scam - more like a case of mistaken email address!

I just received a totally credible email "confirming my order" and asking me to log in to my Ocado account and confirm that I'm happy with the substitutions that were made.

I don't use Ocado so I know it's a scam but thought I'd warn others on here.
