Title: Weird Email.
Post by: Roger Kettle on September 28, 2008, 01:27:07 PM

I received a strange email from some sort of "internet monitoring" outfit who are threatening to cut off my internet access unless I stop downloading copyrighted material----something I've never done. There is an attachment which is supposed to list my crimes of the last six months. I haven't opened it. Anyone else received something like this?

These emails are designed to get the receiver to click on something, or open something, which I suspect will do damage to your computer. Definitely don't open any attachment and delete it.




Did it come from Mince?

I ignore and delete all unsolicited emails. It's the best way.

So you admit soliciting?
