Sends you an email with attached "invoice" for you recent purchase.

Attachment is a virus that will steal all your passwords etc.

Thanks Ian, I had one but I delete anything that looks remotely like a threat.  I've had a few like this recently, all requiring some sort of action on 'invoices due'.  I can see it being a problem for a company with lots of purchases, but for a small operation like ours a rogue payment demand stands out like a sore thumb - I know exactly what I've ordered and from whom, so hopefully won't get caught.

Install Ubuntu (Linux).

It's free and no antivirus program needed, or firewall, etc.

Glad its not only me I've been getting loads of these through the last couple of weeks.

M&M Kitchens, gateway.gov, DHL etc

Easiest way to tell if you're not sure is the attachment will be a ZIP file and a genuine invoice would never come as a ZIP.
