Re: I never click on suspicious email..this time it got me...

I have my spam filter set up to grab all that junk. Now and then I open spam to see what's in there and often get those stupid notices from USPS, fedex, etc.

I was told by my DH YEARS ago to NEVER open them and I never have.

One of my friends got an email with the subject Notice To Appear. When she clicked on it, the same message as above appeared her norton kicked in and blocked it. This was malware and contained a Trojan horse. She had to change her email password and get rid of the viruses one by one. She told me she clicked on it a few times because she was worried that she was really getting a summons.

I have been getting 5-10 "notice to appear" spams weekly for a couple of months at least, it is a very popular one... Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 right in a row!!!!!

I agree with Dagna, I would run a full scan to be sure you're virus free.

I get that one too sometimes. I just delete it.

Re: I never click on suspicious email..this time it got me...

I've never seen one of my email addresses printed on a shipping label, so I would wonder, right up front, how the carrier would even HAVE my email address.

I do see a lot of spam emails that reference some delivery and I've never seen one that looked legit, even on the subject line. They must be getting better at that.

I've been getting one that says here's your invoice , and it has a link to a PDF file, and never says what it's for. Then there are all these odd ones for Viagra etc, with a bunch of language that doesn't make sense .

I did that a couple of years ago with a Fed Ex trying to deliver. I got spamed and my computer crashed. I was able to fix my own computer but it took days.

Recently, the e-mail I'm expecting goes to Spam and the spam e-mails goes to my mailbox.
