Hi There,
Got one as well. Thought strange I hold no creditcards LOL. I have looked at the zipfile attached and it does seem to include some nasty code.
“DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN IT”
Delete it and thing no more about it.
Thanks
This message was strange and I thought it was spam, because it went into my spam box. Secondly, I do not own a credit card and for this very reason. Do not open the attachment, because it may be a virus or steal your contact information.
