    Suspicious email from "Waitrose" ..... or maybe not

    I've just got an email purporting to be from Waitrose.

    The subject header was all screwed up and read "=?iso-8859-1?q??="

    the domain it's come from is "b.e.waitrose.com" so I shant be visiting the site in case it's a scammed page hoping for me to enter my details.....

    SO... BE WARNED PEOPLE.... looks like a phishing trip to me

    Looks legit to me.

    Quite a few legit emailers use the =?iso- encoding stuff.
