Secure Mail Service

Here's a new one. I've just received an email with this subject from noreply@yahoo.com

Quote:

You have received Secure E-mail

To read the message open attached file.

User ID: 24153

Keep your password in a safe place.

Sincerely,

The attached file is an HTML application - which I didn't try to load!

Acording to SpamCop it appears to have come from an NTL customer in Poplar (cpc2-seve9-0-0-cust***.popl.cable.ntl.com) - oops!

Re: Secure Mail Service

You're right to be suspicious, if you're not expecting such a mail (and even if you are) I'd just delete the thing. It's not worth the bother with all the crud that's floating around the e-mail system these days.
