Hi there
To me now email has just got beyond a joke - and the amount of JUNK / SCAMS on it is just BEYOND annoying.
I shall shortly be closing down any EMAIL accounts I have - friends etc can TEXT or we can use service like SKYPE. I don't really need email for business any more -- and for invoice recepits I've been going back more and more believe it or not to SNAIL MAIL - I don't have to have a receipt by return etc.
As a business tool email has got ridiculously time wasting anyway and going back to Snail Mail keeps a very appreciated facility alive - The Local Post Office - especially if you live in a small rural area.
For really urgent stuff believe it or not FAX still works - but what is really URGENT these days - - probably a rapacious Energy company wanting a bill payment !!.
Here's the Final straw -- Never ordered anything -- also who would send out an .arj file plus the phone nr is NOT a UK nr - the sender is purported to have a .co.uk email address so the phone and email doesn't match anyway.
If you get this type of stuff forward at once to the FBI / City of London Police or whoever the Fraud authority is in your jurisdiction and ALWAYS check your Bank balances DAILY.
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT EITHER - even on a Virtual machine.
Cheers
