vunet.com: Police hit in iPod spam attack
“Cambridgeshire Police is investigating what it describes as “a deliberate attempt” to affect its services, after being inundated with phone calls when its number was listed in a hoax email.
The email claims to be an invoice for a 40GB iPod music player and tells the recipient that their credit card will be debited £399.95. It then directs customers with questions to call a ‘customer services’ number.
But the number is the general enquiries line for the main police headquarters in Cambridge.”

Too funny! Now if the email had read that the recipient had WON a 40 iPod, it’d be perfect!
