Yet another email scam or virus, I think.

Great decision to delete, delete, delete!
This is a silly attempt to suck people in, but is so easily determined to be a fraud. Your name is not even mentioned in the email.
Getting us to open the attachment is the goal. And who knows what is embedded in the attachment or what it will do to your computer?

I keep a low profile on the internet, not Facebook or anything so I can't even remember if I ever got any scam sent to me. I was worried when eBay got hacked but then I have changed my internet provider.

I just gave a LONG reply to this but it kept telling me my response was too short; it had to be at least 10 characters. I knew it was about 2 paragraphs long, and I even added more periods to it but I got same reply. Don't want to try again. Suffice it to say - it's a scam.

I explained to a telephone marketer that they should not be calling me as I am on the "Do not call" list. A little while later I got an obviously taped call with a very loud voice telling me that there was legal action pending about me and that I had to ring a certain number. Don't really know why they bother as the number was international and the voice sounded foreign as well. It must have cost them more money than it was worth to try to get at me????

I've gotten 3 phone calls from someone reporting to be from IRS stating that I am being sued by the IRS and giving a phone # to call. Have never received a mailing from IRS and phone call gave no personal information. Needless to say I did not call, if IRS needs to contact me they can do it by mail. Then and only then, when I have verified the authenticity, will I respond. The scammers are busy this summer.
