I was sent an official looking email from someone claiming to be an addministrator at our email site. They say my account will be suspended due to improper use, and to find out detail open attached zip file. If you get this also DO NOT OPEN THE FILE! I will find out what this is but don't open the file, this looks very suspicious! Jeff AKA 78pinto Moderator, fordpinto.com
I would almost guarantee it's a virus. I've gotten a few similar types of emails in the past claiming to be from my ISP; they looked quite legit, but were viruses. Some new social engineering going on now.
8)i too can pretty much guarantee that it is a virus. i get official looking email from alot of places with files attached. at one time i would download my email to my laptop and it would run through norton, and everyone of those "official" emails contained a virus. now i go to my isp and delete email from people like that. i figure if i was going to have a problem with any forum i was on they would send a private message letting me know i was on thin ice before they banned me.
