I had a scam email tonight purporting to be from ticketmaster. Stupidly I clicked on the link! It said it was a survey to see how my recent ticket delivery was!I haven't ordered any tickets from ticket master - I bought some tickets directly from ATG who are not linked! I started going through the survey and then it dawned on me it was a scam. Am super worried.My email address must have gone to loads of phishing entities today, because I also had 2 paypal phishing ones, and an amazon phishing one!I am one of the people who had their BA details stolen and I wonder if its linked to that.
I recently received an email from noreply@ticketmaster.com. it has no contents, one attachment. I tried to preview the attachment and it didn't show, but a popup saying it's saved in "email attachment". I shouldn't have even previewed it. I'm not sure whether the attachment contains malware or malicious content...
