BEWARE! Fake Newegg Order Emails

For the past three days running, I have been receiving fake Newegg notification messages which look like the one below:
GreetingsGood day,
Thanks for you order.
BFG Tech GeForce GTX 280 BFGEGTX2801024OCE Video Card - Retail - $58
You can check you order status at the folowing link:
http://newegg.com/order.php?li=xxxxxxxxxxxxxBest regards,
NewEgg Shop Support.
So far the messages have stated that I have bought a video card, a motherboard and a cpu. What is fortunate for me is that I know that I have not ordered these items. On the flip side it is disturbing since I am receiving these messages at my home email address and not my gmail throw away, which is used for ordering, including ordering from Newegg.
I thought I would pass this on just as a precaution.
Comments welcome.
Note: The address above has been changed.
