Another email scam

[Grahamshed]

I have just had an email saying my vodafone online account has been suspended. Looks pretty good.... if I had a vodafone account.

I get loads from all sorts of alleged institutions but it's increased significantly over the last week and "co-incidently" I ordered something from Amazon 10 days ago :roll: I'm sure that happened last time as well.

I don't bother looking anymore just delete all the spam after a quick check that nothing in there I want.

The important thing is not to open any attachments (especially .zip files) or visit any web-sites mentioned.

I agree, Woodmangler, but there are now emails which download malicious code as soon as you open the email just to check that it really is spam. If I don't recognise the sender, and do not like what I see when I look at the full header codes, I delete spam emails without opening. If I happen to miss out on that major inheritance from my long lost uncle who has recently passed away in Nigeria, so be it!! :wink: :wink:
