Email Scam Reminder

I get these at least one a week. Notice the text and it comes with a zip file attached. Sometimes a file with the wrong file type, but it's a zip or an exe. Scammers. Don't Open Them! Came from some spammed email account claiming to be Jame Mcgrath, even better it's from someone named Betty?

Valued Client, Jame Mcgrath

The amount of 951.00$ for the order #142929 was received by our company and now has the Status: Sent.
Our storage has already shipped the order.
Please, Be sure to call us back if you already received the parcel, as it should have been delivered on February 1, 2016.
If you have any problems, please review the details purchase attached to this letter, or contact our department and we will offer you the other options.

So many flags, the $, the language, the format, the fact that the scammer doesn't know anything about my name or address but claims to have sent an order. Yeah review the details in this virus infested attachment. mad

Anyway, just a reminder that real people will know your name and account information and shouldn't be sending blind emails to notify you of some huge sum or money or delivery. Just like the one that says "your (Bank, Credit Card, PayPal...) account has been closed, click here" which usually makes people jump and say What do you mean... forgetting that the link is to some scam site, phising for your personal information.

Have a safe Internet Experience.
