Recent Virus E-Mail
3 Answers
I recently received the following e-mail, with what appeared to be a Word document attachment in my works in-box.
The virus infected message managed to get passed the company’s virus protection systems and be delivered to me – but I had enough sense not to open the attachment.
Remember that you are an integral part of preventing malicious software infecting computers that you use. Don’t blindly open attachments; there are a number of pointers to suggest the message below may not be genuine – including the generic greeting, and an amount claimed to have been credited to my bank account from someone I’ve never heard of.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you are OK. I'm writing you to let you know that entire amount qualified in the contract has been paid into your bank account on the 8th of May at 10:17 via SEPA payment system and should reach the destination (beneficiary's) account within 2 working days.
To see full payment details please refer to the remittance advice note in the attachment.
Any queries? Please reply back with your questions and you will receive a prompt and qualitative response as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to write us.
