BigPond Scam


I just received an email from BogPond saying they could not access my credit card info would I please resupply, it has to be a scam cos I don't have a bigpond account.

The email has a attachment so DO NOT OPEN IT.

 how can they make that sort of mistake when I have never been involved with BigPond?

I don't believe it was a mistake, but that is only MHO
