Obviously fake, it came with an attachment that contains an executable which I'm not going to run but saving it to my desktop and running MSE against it showed it as clean - so might not be a virus itself or maybe MSE just misses it!

Thanks for the heads up. Might be worth forwarding the email to support so they can look at blocking it.

[Inkblot]

That's a thought but I don't use IDNet for mail so it may well get blocked by them anyway, it was one of those that came from the same address it was being sent to which is always a 100% giveaway!

It still might be worth forwarding it, so that they are aware of it. 

[Inkblot]

Consider it done then!

Funny how these 'duff' emails always contain serious spelling errors

[Inkblot]

Aye, they always look as if they were written by schoolkids using a pocket translation dictionary.

My excuse is that although I can spell I am unable to type!
