Received an email purporting to be from a company in the UK midlands last Tuesday. In a moment of absent mindedness I clicked the attached 'invoice.doc.' file thinking it was from one of a number of recent ebay purchases. It opened MS Word sure enough, but the page was empty. Not recognising the name of the company I rang them to see which purchase it referred to, only to be told I was the umteenth caller that day inquiring about emails sent supposedly under their name. Well OF COURSE it was fake. OF COURSE I shouldn't have clicked the attachment (but then again I WAS expecting something relating to the ebay purchases). My Malwarebites Antimalware flagged up nothing so hopefully the wrong-doers stuffed up their attempts at mischief, on this occasion at least!
Yez can't be too careful out there!
