I had a few of my users get sent this yesterday
1. The real URL <http://ps4consult.dk/> contains no encoding to link
your email address to their spam list.
2. I've heard (but can't confirm) that if you're using Windoze + IE +
Outlook Express this page downloads a Trojan virus
My advice would be...
1. Don't panic
2. Be wary of opening any URLs from suspicious emails especially if you
use Windoze, or, if you use OS X, until Apple fixes their current
serious URI handling vulnerability.

I just received the following email from the email address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have never heard of them, have certainly never
ordered anything from them, let alone opened an account with them, and
can't imagine dealing online with this sort of money. I have just
bounced the email back to the address, and it returned as "User
Unknown".
I'll be keeping an eye on my Credit Card, and keeping Consumer Affairs
aware. I'm uneasy though. The problem is, I'm wary of even visiting
the tvshop web site for fear of alerting them to the fact that I
actually exist. Hopefully they might get the message from my bounce.
