I thought I'd just let people know that I received an email from Appliances Online with a link to a receipt for a recent purchase. I smelled a rate from the start but having just been buying appliances, I certainly had been to that site a bit lately, and had my instinct been asleep I may well have clicked on thinking I had bought something from there.
Anyway, I called them and their phone lines are running hot. (The 1300 number on the spam email IS the correct number, but I looked it up. Why would a spammer use a genuine phone number? I suppose they just assume most people don't want to talk to a person and will simply click on the receipt link.)
It IS most definitely a spam. Goodness knows what the link does, but I thought it worthwhile posting here in case anybody has bought appliances lately and might not think before clicking the link.
