dodgy email 'from ntl'
My gf received an email on her ntl account that appears to contain a virus (though I'm not sure as I've only read it on webmail on a mac).
The text is as follows
Quote:
Dear user of Ntlworld.com e-mail server gateway,
Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days,
to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free
auto-forwarding service.
For details see the attach.
Best wishes,
The Ntlworld.com team
|
The subject is 'Important notify about your e-mail account.'
The attachment is called moreinfo.pif
Looks dodgy (if only for the bad grammar/spelling), and I thought I'd post it here as it purports to be from ntlworld.

Re: dodgy email 'from ntl'
Quite right, it is bogus.
The latest virus attachments are coming through as .pif files to confuse people who have become wary of the usual .zip etc

Received one today indicating it was from NTL containing a .zip file, with the following message, again looks dodgy.

Re: dodgy email 'from ntl'
I just noticed this has been discussed recently 
http://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8779
Perhaps this thread should be merged or removed?
