New scam?

Opened a spam e-mail asking me not to reply saying I have had money transfered to my account for $590.00 with a transfer number an option to view more online and a Oxford st. address and what looks like an American phone number.

Chances are that if you follow the link you'll end up at a site that attempts to install malware on your machine.

Not exactly a scam, more of an infection vector.
