"George at ASDA Order Confirmation" Scams Being Sent by Scammers

Hi, the email below was received by me although I have not placed an order for such a thing. It looks as if it has come from ASDA, but has limited info and although professes to have dispatched an item, has no house number? It does, however, have my name, street name, and phone number. I should imagine the idea is to get me to click on the link.
