This is a scam, I've done a little research into it and if you open it, it releases a virus and malware which collects your banking & password details.

 

If you get an email with this: "tel: 07773403290" <[email protected]> in it DELETE IT DON'T OPEN IT!

For the uninitiated usual SPAM points for suspicion

 

"Dear Customer".

 

They know your name, proper company will always address you by name.

I had this message this morning, deleted without opening

There's a similar one going around that's a whatsapp message too.

There is an interparcel.com phish hitting people and businesses too.

 

Has a pdf with and embedded Word doc. Within the work doc is a macro. Within the macro is some java.

 

Java calls out to some sites to pull down the payload (Dridex).

 

Make sure that your office installs have Macros off by default to block most of these from working.

We see at least half a dozen variations of these dridex based emails each day through the office email system. Luckily our spam filter catches some, both others have to be manually blocked. They are pretty badly written emails, with attachments that pretend to be invoices in word, excel and even had an XML one. We see hundreds or more of each variant, so be careful with emails.

Never understood why people do these?!?

They make money from them. Easy money. Costs almost nothing, low risk and if they grab your banking credentials they get a good payout.

The Cryptolocker stuff works even better for ROI.

 

It's a proper business now, none of these old school silly viruses that made your CD cdrawer fart.

just had an email

Yep. Had that one too, instantly deleted.

I had 2 text-to-voice messages over the weekend, from DHL asking for £4.79 admin fee; I thought THEY were scams as DHLs usual fee is more like £12, and the usually send the texts to my mobile - not my land line. but it turned out to be real.

 

Stupid ....soles were charging me VAT on the POSTAGE cost of my new phone; not on the cost of the phone itself (import), saving me about £32.
