I received a scam email from the ICS Monitoring Team today, (apparently), with the subject line Your internet access is going to get suspended. It has a zip file attached called report.zip - DON’T OPEN IT!The ICS Monitoring Team email is a scam to tempt you into loading a trojan virus into your machine, that will allow these scamming bastards to steal your personal details, passwords, etc.
The email details:

Apart from the poor grammar and the incomplete sentences, it’s fairly obvious it’s a scam, but don’t be tempted to see what’s in the zip file, simply delete the email and forget about it.
If you receive a similar email, with a different company, different content, etc, we’d love to hear from you so please take 2 minutes to leave a comment.
