MedocMad Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Block as spam via your AV if you have one installed. Only open emails from people you know or have signed up to. Never open any docs from unknown sources. If its important they will call you. Common sense if in doubt delete !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Also, if you're worried that someone has spent money in your account, check with your bank rather than who the email comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Dome Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 hi, i have recieved an email today with 'attatchments' ie, plane ticket reciept' which is printable, and a reciept number for a ticket i supposedly bought to fly from philadelphia for $460.63 USD, news to me !!!. i have to open the attatchment to get all details but i believe it is a scam email as it is addressed to 'dear customer', has anyone else had one as i am not gonna open it, but gonna check bank balance asap this kind of thing killed my dads PC with a virus. delete on sight.
