Credit Card Overdue Email Scam
I received a Credit Card Overdue phishing scam email this morning, so I thought I’d stick a quick warning up, as some people may be be tempted to click on the attached zip file.
The credit card overdue email details:
Subject: Credit Card Overdue
From: Notification robot [info67673@mailer-daemon.com]
Attachment: Customer details.zip (12KB)

I received the same email, although it wasn’t showing an attachment. It did appear in the properties section that there was a file included, but I’m not computer savy enough to know if that means in addition to the email or not. Either way, I’ve trashed it.

They tend to send 2 or 3 in a row (on consecutive days) and then they will send you the zip file. This is the same as a UPS notification scam. Just keep deleting and never open the zip file.

I have received two of these.
On the 2nd occasion I opened the zip file attached and all I could see was gobbledegook!
I’m using a Mac, so if was a PC program I don’t think I’ll be affected?
What is it?

I have recieved 1-2 of these every day for the last week at my work email. I don’t know how to stop it! Each time it’s from a slightly different email address but always info#####@mailer-daemon.com and the customer # has changed with each email too. I uploaded the .zip attachment to VirusTotal.com and of the 50 or so antivirus programs that scanned the file, 40 found malware in the attachment. I’m safe from these, as I work on a Mac at work and all the viruses were targeted to PC’s but DON’T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT, YOU WILL GET INFECTED!

I received a similar email on the 27th from a “Notification Robot”.
Luckily the attachment wasn’t attached on the IPad and Norton Antivirus detected that the attachment had a virus on the PC. However the message also appeared to be cc’d to individuals, who I didn’t know, with similar email addresses to myself.
Hope this helps and that there aren’t further consequences.

I received this email too. Do not answer that email as the scammer may find your coordinates and charge you for real.

These messages have been coming to my work email address, so the spam filter is stopping them from showing up in my in box.
