That was the latest junk mail I got tonight. Complete with a link too click on for all the details. I imagined the first sign of the heart attack comes when you click on the link and find your computer has had ransomware installed and if you want your files back, you'd better pay up! (I'm guessing, I didn't click the link to test it).
 
I got what looked like an email I sent "could not be delivered to sender" posing as my ISP. There was a link to click for the "details".... Only I didn't send an email to the address listed. I can only imagine the nasties if I clicked the link.
 
I get these kinds of phishing attempts all the time (most of them are in my junk folder). Sometimes they don't say anything, but have a link to click on.
 
Doesn't anti-virus /malware &/or firewall software work against his kind of junk?

the rascals that do this stuff really need to get a life.
an old British car would probably keep them off the streets.

It doesn't stop the email, but if you click on a link to an infected website, some malware "might" catch it.
 
We got a phone call from someone with an accident that said he was calling back to help with a computer problem. Said he works with Microsoft. Yea right.
They are getting bold now, my mother in law is at the age where she might fall for this stuff.

Also, when you add up the receipts as we finish restoring the cars we do! Prevention is, don't add them up, I didn't. :highly_amused: PJ

Someones excellent signature, (I hope my wife doesn't sell my car for what I told her it cost to restore)! :devilgrin: I totally agree.
 
I received an email asking: "burial or cremation?" Evidently I have a choice.
Frankly, cremation is my last chance to have a smokin' hot body.
