Dangerous fake email scams Page 11

Tee Hee !

Double whammy attempt !

Hi my name is Michelle,

My best friend Sandra and I have been thinking about inviting a guy for a threesome !

We don't really like going to the bars and we want to be very discreet.
We used to use facebook to connect with people but, as I'm sure you know you can't upload any kinky pics or videos there.
About 6 months ago I found the coolest freakign website ever.

You do seem to attract them Rocker!

It's my magnetic personality !

There's a lot of fake photos "Sent from my iPhone" going around at the moment.

Cryptolocker is a malicious piece of software being circulated by fake emails in their thousands at present.

If you get infected it locks all your files by encrypting them and then asks for a ransom for the decryption key.

Carazy thing is it wants paying in Bitcoins, which most people (including me) have no idea how they would aquire any and certainly would be unable to do anything about it if the computer is locked up.

NCA warns UK of mass CryptoLocker ransomware attacks

http://www.scmagazineuk.com/nca-warns-uk-of-mass-cryptolocker-ransomware-attacks/article/321576/?DCMP=EMC-SCUK_Newswire

Never click on any attachment unless BOTH:
1. It is from a valid existing contact of yours
2. YOU ARE EXPECTING the attachment, or the words in the email give you no doubt that it is valid.

If in doubt do not open it send a separate email to the apparent originator asking if it is valid.

~~~~~

Secondly most important, make sure you have up to date backups of your data files and emails and photos etc etc.

Then if the worst happens you can wipe your computer clean and reload Windows and re install your files and emails.

The ransom will have little effect on you if you know your data is safe elsewhere.

This is one typical official looking email which I think is being used to carry the malware, but there are many other versions.

Beware this sneaky version, which I think is probably ALSO Cryptolocker.

MICROSOFT NEVER SEND PATCHES BY EMAIL.

This is FAKE:
