who did you receive the email from?

Why did you recieve it?

seems all a bit odd to me!

Sounds a bit like those emails.....

"Hello, you don't know me but i have 300 million dollars, i need a british bank account blah blah"

It came from A&A Group. I assume I received it from one of the many online insurance companies I have entered my details into over the last couple of years. Even if it is shite it's still worth a mention incase someone does receive the email.

And it doesn't sound like those emails at all!

I've had one as well. Doesn't seem like the normal scams, which ask you to verify your credit card details on a website which look identical to the real thing, and the first you'd get to know about it being fake is when you're credit card is full and you then get a nice bill.

It could be a very dis-gruntled customer I suppose, but I seriously doubt it. Could be an idea for the future though. Gear4bikes & Insanity Motorcycles beware
