I haven't got anything on backorder so I thinks its a scam, I will print this off and take it to AustPost on Monday just in case. I haven't clicked on the button.

If you hover over the button, the info bar at the bottom should tell you the address that you'd click through to if you decided to click.


You can then check to see if it looks legit without actioning anything

There is nothing when I hover over the button.
The source for the email looks dodgy -- "test@copyordie.com"

Had a couple of these ... just ignored and deleted them. The URL in the top left hand corner is suspect.

Thanks Hans, I'll just delete it, the people at our local APO know who I am and they can contact me if its legit.

Any email or mail that’s mentions “ you must” do this in so many days Or else is a total scam
Plus the email address is a give away

I’ve been summoned to appear in court by so many scam emails Ive lost count
The emails had an official looking Government stamp and title etc.. very convincing
You get to know scams after dealing with them for a number of years

Whenever you get a "dear customer" email and then a link DELETE
