Email Scam - April 2013

The latest email scam to hit our inboxes is disgusting to say the least! The scummers are bulk emailing their latest attempt to infect your computer by sending out disguised links under the heading of "Explosions at Boston Marathon" or variations on the theme. Also "Texas Explosions Injure Dozens".

The contents are a simple link of the format http followed by a series of numbers (an IP address) and /news.html or boston.html or texas.html.

I warn you not to respond to any such emails and do not click the link. At best you'll confirm your email as valid, at worst, you'll infect your computer with whatever virus that is on the page linked to! The people behind these, really are the lowest of the low!
