So I just got this email:
[email protected]
Notice to Appear,

The copy of the court notice is attached to this letter.
Please, read it thoroughly.

Yours truly,
Clerk to the Court.

Attached is a zip that I ran some online virus scans on, and it came back with an .exe with the following:


Should I run that .EXE?  How fucked would I be?

Had me scratching my head for a moment as I've never been to the Bronx before, and was wondering WTF, why is a Bronx lawyer emailing me, but not including my name in the body?

For the record, I have not, and will not download that file.

Umm yeah - the court is not going to send anyone an e-mail "notice to appear'.  That smelled SCAM before opening it.

Yeah, anonymous email with little details and a zip file attachment? Nothing can go wrong there.

Hell I just got on that claims that we are switching to a new email server. Yeah looked totally legit as it didn't come from the same email and when I scrolled over the link it was from a foreign domain.

If I were you, I would probably run the infected file.

As my luck would have it... I'm not you.


ETA: I hope you have a great day.

Nope, and I checked my junk mail.  I did have a spam message from Major. Karl J Groninger, email: [email protected] Kabul/Afghanistan who had some important items to ship to someone he could trust.

Sounds like another legit opportunity also.

ETA: maybe I should have responded - he might have some trophy full-auto trash can guns.
