The Lilly Hill Scam

Here is another attempt to infect your computer with malware. The e-mail came with an attached .zip file claiming to be my invoices. When opened it most likely contains malware. If this was a real e-mail, you can rest assured the company that thinks I owe them money would have the company name, info, and why I am supposed to owe them money as well as contact info clearly visible in the e-mail. Why? Because real companies know that most people won't open attachments from people they do not know.

And that is the Tip of the Day:

  • If you don't know who sent you an attachment, don't open it.



Scam e-mail Below:

Please find attached your invoices for the past months. Remit the payment by 02/04/2013 as outlines under our "Payment Terms" agreement.

Thank you for your business,

Sincerely,
Lilly Hill
