Spam email purporting to come from Companies House

[Clare@InTouch]

I saw another of these a couple days ago too, so they are back doing the rounds. Interesting to know what the spammers get from this one.

There's also the usual "Tax Rebate" spam emails at the moment, asking you for bank details so they can send you the rebate of £900+

You need to be super careful with these e-mails, as they often contain the CryptoLocker malware, which will really ruin your day. Always assume that unsolicited e-mails from official places are fake and take it from there. Never open a zipped attachment unless you really trust the origin.

Crytolocker is a right pain.
A friend in Italy lost a lot of data. Especially because he didn't do backups.

Just another warning that these e-mails are doing the rounds again. They look legitimate on the face of it, but they aren't. Never open a zipped attachment associated with an e-mail unless you're 100% sure of the origin.

I Regularly get these, along with e-mails purporting to be from:
Barclays about some money transfer issue
UPS/FedEx/DHL about some customs issue with parcel in US
HMRC about a credit balance
SKY about some unpaid balance
Amazon about some order - which I never made

Its a long list getting longer all the time.

Got a lot of these too.
Most spammers seem to get my email address from the Monster job board

The nice thing with gmail is that you can put a dot anywhere in you email account and it will still arrive. for example [email protected] can be written as [email protected] or [email protected], etc By doing this I found out Monster is the worst of the worst
