The dpd.co.uk part is a legitimate service, and could be genuine but as someone points out on MSE, where it is mentioned. |

Defo a scam, don't click any further, just delete it. l often get one from Curry's(sometimes 4 days in a row) saying "we are waiting for you to contact us about your order" or something similar....they come through my spam box, l delete them. |

We regularly get them from Amazon. If neither of us has ordered anything in the last 24 hours, they get deleted. |

I buy lots from Amazon, I only ever get emails from them (or those who sell through them) when I have placed an order in this order |

I don't know if all mail sites are the same, but on ours (BT) if you point the cursor at the sender's name in your Inbox, it shows the full email address. |

A lot of addresses on stuff ordered over the internet are generated from the postcode. Mistype a single character and it could be the wrong end of the country. Its amazing how careless some people are. Also I've seen correct road but wrong number. As an example postman had an item for 22 in our road, but only goes to 16. Should have been 11, more careless typing. |

Glad to hear that your panic is over wisechild. Did your friend remember to choose a machine compatible with the Spanish Electricity voltage!!! |

We frequently swap post and parcels with a neighbour. Our address ends with Road and theirs is Terrace. Stupid council named 4 new houses just inside our Road with the first part of the name identical. Fortunately for us we have known each other for years so no problems. :-D |
