Dell's been an open book for years.

One piece of spam I've got on a brand new email account was ~1 day after ordering a brand new XPS. It was a fake tracking code email about my dell order with correct details like laptop, account name, price. I contacted dell and only managed to find out my order wasn't even in the post yet. They weren't interested in anything.

And I also never got any more than that specific 1 piece of spam.

Out of curiosity, how did you/did you confirm it was a fake?

The tracking number was a zipfile I have to run a program to get.

I messaged Dell to confirm who they ship with, who said it's not in the post yet. Once another tracking number came in a week or so it was from dell since it had more branding and did actually contain just a number and did work in the shipping companies website.

Have read stories about Dell support members out of the US doing these scams using their privileged info.
