    Strange email?

    Have been getting a few strange emails lately, mostly saying there from UPS about the tracking number of a parcel i sent (which i havn't) then today i get this and it's rather strange.



    "Hello!

    Attention! The wire sent to Kiril Fadeev, Moscow, Russia has been blocked by our
    security service.

    Your credit card issuing bank has halted the transaction by the demand of the
    Federal Criminal Investigation Service (case No. 05144 since the recipient has been
    undergoing the international retrieval by the InterPol.

    Please contact the closest Western Union office and make sure you have your ID card,
    the credit card that was used for making the payment, and the invoice file with you.

    (The invoice file is attached to this message; please print it out and hand it to
    our agent.)

    You can find the address of the closest Western Union agent on our website at
    http://www.westernunion.com

    Thank you!"


    P.S. This wasn't addressed to me and i'm not about to open the attachment, Virus scanner won't like it

    Anybody else getting anything like this?

    Re: Strange email?

    Like all other spam e-mails - just delete it. If it doesn't reference you personally, or you weren't expecting it, it's most likely a load of spam.

    This is clearly one of those e-mails. You have to give it too them, spam is at least coherant these days.
