    Email Alert


    I wasn't sure where to post this , so I posing it here. I want to warn everyone of a email I received today. I got a email saying my PayPal account was being limited because of some violations. It also contained a file that I was supposed to open to confirm my identity. I do not have a PayPal account. Just letting everyone know in case they receive this email or one similar to it. Do not click on anything in your emails.

    E61 No Email Notification???

    New email alerts are in the settings for your email account under User Settings->New Email Alerts; which is on by default. Also, in Profiles->General->Personalise you will find that there is a setting for choosing an Email Alert Tone, which is set to Email
    Alert 1 by default.

    Is it a Nokia E61 from Vodafone?

    E61 No Email Notification???

    The email alert tone in the profile is 'Email alert 1.aac'. An email arrived a few minutes ago while the E61 was in front of me and there was no sound only a flashing light.

    Probably ransomware. Good you didn't open it.

    That was my first thought when I saw the email.

  7. I wonder, what kind of email provider you have, because normally fake paypal emails end up in spam automatically.

    Usually, yes they do. But zipped files usually get through, unfortunately. IDK if this one was zipped though.

    If it came with a zip file, might be this one:

    I'm not sure if it was on my Comcast account or my Gmail account I have my email client set to show both accounts. After seeing the email and not wanting to chance infecting my computer I deleted it.
