Should I worry about this certain (suspiciously spam) email?

[dave_c]

Just need help (and some slight relief)I havent log on to a certain email account for some time (the last time I did was when I was in an internet cafe) and now a few weeks later to my surprise I've been sent this.

"Thank you for your loan request, which we recieved yesterday, your refinance application has been accepted. We are ready to give you a $354,000 loan, after further review, our lenders have established the lowest monthly payments.Approval process will take only 1 minute.Please visit the confirmation link below and fill-out our short 30 second Secure Web-Form."

I never ever gave specific personal data through this account should I be worried about it?

No - it's spam and I get loads of these. As long as you don't respond to the email, there is nothing to worry about.

Ignore and delete.

As has been said,

DONT repond to the e-mail (it just confirms your email is live).

Dont visit the web site.

Dont fill in any online form (you are just giving them even MORE information about yourself)

Delete it and think no more about it.

I got one yesterday saying I had bought a Samsung TV and to download a file to read it. The attachement was an EXE file (a program). If I had run it I would have probably got a virus on my machine.

One important thing to note when using internet cafes.

If you use a web based email system, the browser can be set to save passwords.

Also, eveything you do on the web is saved in temporary files on the hard disk.

The person who follows you COULD find out your e-mail address and password and logon as you and read your e-mails.

It is important to clear all this information before you leave the PC.

There are web sites around that help with Internet Cafe Security so search Google and see if you can find one that gives you some advice.
