weird situation/possible scam...UPDATE: email haxored

[rudeguy]

So I was checking my webmail today, and I recieved an email from Dell. It was confirming an order that was placed for almost $1000. I knew I had not placed that order, and then I noticed that the email wasnt addressed to me, it was addressed to a different email address on my server. The thing is, its a fake email address. So, I have the order info from Dell, and the buyers info...what if anything should I do?

Check your CC to make sure you didn't actually get billed for it, then if you have time, call Dell. But first things first, make sure you are not getting charged somewhere for it.

[rudeguy]

how do you figure its spam?

I'd say contact the buyer and see if they really did order it.
