Trojan sent to me

[Valve Bounce]

A trojan was sent to me in the form of a parcel delivery notification, but was bloacked by my Adaware. The notification was in the form of a zipped file.

Well the first rule is never open any attachment that you're not expecting or is not from a trusted source.....

These aren't in any way unusual!

One I get quite often is the standard "You're bank account has been suspended due to suspicious activity, please download the attached form and fill it in and return to us".
Of course the 'form' is a virus.

1) Full Name

I was going to post that I always bring my own Trojans to the party and mine come in a sealed bag,. I would be hesitant to use anything like that that came in a "zipped file" although carrying around your trojan in a zipper bag for re-use might not be a bad idea........then I figured it out.

BTW----Those barrister emails, I have recieved a number over the years....

then there are the "customer satisfaction" from various banks where they ask for your ID and password to "sign in" so they can be sure to really are a customer.

For some reason, I have receved many from "banks" where I never had an account.

I had one from Nationwide Bank, very clever considering they are a Building Society!

Not a trojan but had a fake Japan appeal scam e-mail the other day, the sender of which ought to be sent there, into the thick of it, to do something useful.

Well,, these guys sending out Trojans on FeDex, have stepped up their ccampaign, by sending out a new notification under DHL, as well as sending out two on FeDex last night. They all come with a folder. Fortunately, they go straight into my spam folder.
