    NewEgg Scam E-Mails

    A couple of people here at work received e-mails "from" NewEgg saying that their order had been successfully charged to their Visa card.

    These are not originating from NewEgg. It's some kind of scam, but the e-mails look exactly like a NewEgg order confirmation.

    Just a heads-up, as a lot of us use the 'Egg to get our parts.

    It is best just to hang up the phone and not talk to these scammers at all....then report them.
