Possibilities:
1) someone at "euro jobs ear" screwed up on the e-mail address, so you
got the ersult.
2) someone got your credit card dnmber and ordered stuff and one of the
orders ersulted in that e-mail notice.
VERY *carefully* (and !immediately!) check your credit card statements
for any foul play; call the issueing agency and make a report AND
cancel/stop that card.
Watch each and every monthly statement for abuse; report as above.

IRC this type of spam is usually sent as HTML and includes a link to their
sales department. Some people will instinctively click on that link to
report that they placed no such order. On reaching the web site, an attempt
will be made to download a virus or Trojan horse of some kind. If the user
does not have an active anti-virus scanner, then...

How would they have gotten YOUR credit card number ?

If his computer has been compromised and since then he has used his
credit card for online purchases.

1. Call your CC company and report the incident. If you don't have online
access to monitor your CC charges, get it.
2. Download, install, and run an anti spyware program (Spybot 1.3 or
Ad-aware.)
3. DO NOT click on any links in the email nor contact that company in any
way.

It does try to do that too.
The link is actually a link to http://eurojobsearch.net/1/index.htm which
loads a chain of bits and bobs and tries to run/download msits.exe which
then tries to do some other stuff with the aim pf hijacking IE search/home
pages. You know the sort of thing.

See
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/viru...JECT.A&VSect=T
which describes similar behaviour.

I looked up eurojobsearch.net and it belongs to:

EuroJob GmBH

Fax: none

Osnabrück, XX 49028

smnetworking.biz addresses have been used for similar attempts in the
past...

Be sure to remove "nospam" B4 initiating site

It's sickening that this type of crap is condoned as "free speech"!
Spammers need to be put out of commission.

From copies of original or the original itself, home or business
dumpster diving, clueless people (including card holder) passing on card
number to another "for verification", etc.
