Spammers Target Cambridgeshire Police Force

I learned of this scam via this Sophos report. Spammers are sending messages which appear to be receipts for £399.99 Apple iPods. The message lists the phone number of the Cambridgeshire Police Force in the UK as the point of contact for complaints. This sounds more like a prank than a structured attack, but the concept is sound. I imagine we'll see more of this in the future. Here's what the email looks like:
