Can anyone tell me if I am being scammed?

[doddsie4]

     I have received an email, which says "Your transfer is successful.   The receipt is attached to this email.    Contact the support number for any queries,
                                                                              Regards,
                                                                                            Support."

      In an attachment, it says     ZELLE

                         You have sent £399 dollars to Mark Stein.   They are required to ship out the item and get back to us.      ...They give an American contact number and a Transaction number.

       I don't know what it is all about.       Can anyone help me?

I have had similar emails and immediately deleted them - it's a scam.

It looks like a scam. Why would a legitimate email  be sent with the sum written with the £ sign and dollars, £399 dollars. It doesn’t make sense.

     Thanks for your prompt reply.     It relieves me to know that they can't do anything if I just ignore their email. 

      ...It seems they are well known in U.S.A. for fraud, and they have made a lot of money by fooling people with a follow up phone call.    I saw a report that said Congress were dealing with it.     I would never give bank details to a surprise caller on the phone.

    Jebber,
               Sorry.     It was actually a dollar sign.     I was typing too quick in a desperate bid to get a solution.    It worries me that their email says: "The transfer was successful."

It's a spam. 

When I receive similar e-mails, I delete as Spam and block sender.

They want you to think that money was transferred out of your account and hope you call the number to try to fix the problem. The damage is done if you call the number.
I get lots of these (in the US). Also ones saying my subscription to Norton Anti-Virus or McAfee or whatever just renewed. And a contact phone number at the bottom of the email.
If you look closely at who the mail was sent to, often it went to someone else, and you were just sent a copy.

Gadget,
             I have just blocked the sender.      Thanks.

Oldohiohome,
                     I also have McAfee.      I have it on Auto renew.    They always give a date when the next renewal will be.      I will watch out for this scam on McAfee, now that you have told me.

No problem, anything unexpected with an attachment can usually be regarded as a scam.

I have received countless scam Emails supposedly from MacAfee, now I’m getting Norton ones, there are plenty of others doing the rounds at the moment.

I recently had one demanding payment in Bitcoin, to stop them sending to everyone in my contacts a screen shot of me watching porn. They must think us stupid to threaten with something we knows be impossible, or they think everyone looks at porn.
