I don't mean to minimize the cyber crime threat. I mean to show that the
thing was obvious on its face: even if the TT list charged for access
(it doesn't) why would they charge in British pounds? That should seem
_/*very*/_ odd and a so major warning sign. ANYTHING that stands out
like that is a guarantee that it's dangerous to open. *Don't do it!!*

I find nothing silly about those that spread cyber crime
Many have their computers held ransom
Email delivery disrupted and worse
These days I invest in malware and anti-virus
Software to protect my computer, my wife’s computer and other family
members
You that that having to pay for a defense is silly
Then the joke is on you !
Cheers!

to enable editing to read the payment info, which should never be
needed! I sent it to my virus scanner service desk because the
scanner didn't alarm on it.. they came back this morning with
updates to their definitions files because it was a new one. Just
fair warning, there are new attacks every day and some day you may
be a target before it has been identified.
