Just had an email from them, I am being refunded for the difference in price between me ordering a book and the price when the order was processed .. the amount ?
5 Pence !! .. I won't spend it all at once .. it must cost a lot more than that to send me the 'cash' .. still. it's nice to know that my purchases are being closely monitored ((:>)

If it was dodgy they would ask you to log in & maybe confirm bank details (I don't know just guessing on that) If it's genuine they wouldn't ask you to do anything, they would just refund the cash. Think carefully Lincs about what you intend to do with itMStuartPerm said:Its definitely from them isn’t it and not a phishing email?

I don't answer the phone to anyone if I don't recognise the number. If it's important/kosher they'll leave a message.MStuartPerm said:

Many telephone providers have a solution to combat this, you enable a feature where the call is re-directed so they announce themselves before putting the call through to you. Also they often have a white listing service so numbers that you trust are not diverted to that service.
