Phishing - Beware

Just got this. Needless to say, I have not ordered nor returned anything.

This is it, very clever but bogus!

If it's truly a phishing operation, the intention is to get you to click on the "Order #" link after which they ask you for some identifying info along with a credit card number, expiration date and security code to "verify" your "Pelican account." Once you give them that, they can use or sell your card info.

Another check:

Mouse over the link (DON'T CLICK IT!) and verify the underlying URL lines up with the host email.
