It's also worth remembering that the company itself may not have any knowledge of this email and it's link(s) or attachment as it won't have come from their servers and IT systems but from an external bot net.
It's not advised to ring them as there won't really be anything they can do to help you. |

NOTE
The current round of Word/Excel/XML attachments are targeted at Windows users.
Apple and Android software can open these attachments and may even manage to run the macro embedded inside the attachment.
The auto-download file is normally a windows executable and so will not currently run on any operating system, apart from Windows.
However, if you are an Apple/Android user and forward the message to a Windows user, you will them put them at risk of opening the attachment and auto-downloading the malware. |

Had the very same email today, at first glance I thought it said George Harrison - the former beatle lol.
Have received same email yesterday Monday but have only just looked at it.
Fortunately it went straight in spam and I delete most things straight away.
It was only when I started to read this email I realised they were using a genuine address phone number etc when you take another look at the amount supposed owing is in euros and a UK phone number starting in 44
I just hope people from Castleford read this advice.
Many thanks for posting this it's been a big help.
Regards.
