I had an employee almost sell the farm once because he got spoofed
easy. I had to teach him about this stuff. There are definitely
telltale signs most of the time.

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!

I got one yesterday that was obvious phishing... it was from an address
I didn't know, it was addressed to 'undisclosed recipients', and it had a
.doc file. The text of the message said 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.
