I received an email a few days ago regarding an invoice from Broad Oak Toiletries. The email was very plain, but looked like a normal email. The email was from a person called Sue Mockridge and included an attached. At first I thought the person had just sent it to the wrong person and I considered forwarding it on to our accounts department, then I briefly thought about opening the invoice, but thank God I did not. After looking on the net I found out it was a malicious scam and deleted the email.
My advice to anyone is that if you receive an email you are not expecting with an attachment do not open it, that must be rule one. Best thing to do is use Google and check if anyone else has reported it, if not still do not open it, do a bit of research into the company it came from and even contact the company before opening it.
