The Attachment Only Scam

Mostly on this blog, I post copy/pasted scam e-mails in the hopes that someone out there will do a search on an e-mail they received before sending money, and find their e-mail here. That maybe this blog can save someone from being scammed. I have, however, not mentioned on of the biggest e-mail scams out there. It is difficult, because there is no e-mail body to copy/paste. Simply an attachment. (and sometime a subject that will try to convince you you need to read the attachment.) I have never actually opened one of those attachments, so I have no idea what is usually on them, but I can tell you what is probably in them. You see, the easiest way to install spyware, or other viruses onto a computer, is to have someone at the computer double click on the installer. These scams try to get you to install their malware by getting you to "open the attachment". Once you double click that attachment, the malware is loaded into your computer and the can get what they want.
So, in conclusion, don't open attachments from people you don't know. I've attached a picture showing 2 of these e-mails.
