Email ticket scam

[westo123]

I have just received an email from the Bournemouth Theatre group telling me that my tickets were attached. As I had not bought any tickets and I know BIC post them, I was a bit suspicious. The email looks very genuine and just like others I have had from other venues. A search on Google revealed only one mention, so I thought I would post on here.
Do not open hoping for free tickets sent to you by mistake! It is a scam.

Very common mate...

As I keep having to repeat to my aunt, cousin, etc ... NEVER open attachments in an email unless you know the sender, and are expecting something.
