I got the email today as well. I accidentally clicked the link as my wife has just left me and has been buying stuff online before she buggered off. Spent most of the afternoon running antivirus to get it off! I was a victim of the CRC scam with the vouchers as well! AVG antivirus remove if for me!

I have put the word out on Twitter to see if anyone else has a link between CRC Scam and Play.com.

Me too, I got the same one. Reckon I am probably ok though, after the CRC problem I changed my CC just to be safe, and havent used it online anywhere since

I didn't get this scam email - which is a surprise, seeing as bloody Play.com spams me approximately every 7 hours. When you click on their "unsubscribe" link, it takes you to a signin page. I don't have my username and password because I haven't ordered anything in years from them. Spankers.
Anyway my point is that this suggests the email didn't emerge from Play.com's records. I used to have a CRC account but haven't used it in 4 years or so.

Its ironic how there are CRC adverts on the page (well for me anyway).

I got it too. Pretty sure it's the CRC thing as I don't have an account with play at the email account I received the email to.

I am sure this will be dilligently investigated and reported by the team at Singletrack Towers and a timely and accurate statement of what has happened and acceptance of blame will appear here from CRC, who will put a warning on the home page of their website to protect their customers whose security they value so highly...
And that a team of flying pigs are about to go past.

I received the same scam email yesterday. I wasn't aware of the ChainReaction issue earlier this year. However, I am sure it is related to that as I use a different email address for each online supplier I use - and the address on this email is the one that I exclusively use for Chainreation orders.....

Hello! I received this email also. I do not know how I was targeted since I am not a customer of ChainReaction or Play.com. I do not have an account set up at either website. I wonder if the cause of all this will ever be discovered.

Bet the info came from CRC's database. The Young Lady in Grey (Fuffykittens (FFS)) ordered some stuff for me from there for me when I was away and set the email to my in-box for the order confirmation etc. The Play.com scam was to my email under her name.
