Jonzjob Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I am fairly sure that the e-mail that I had fron Free yesterday is a scam and a fairly good one at that. I have replaced the '.' in the link with 'dot' to make sure it doesn't 'click'. Anyone else had one of these?

Jay Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm not with Free but can't see what anyone would gain from an email like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I hate the way that French companies don't put a name on their e-mails. The strange thing is that I have had an account with them since April and this is the 1st e-mail from them since then. It sounds like 3 months free Free?I couldn't see any gain either, but I am paranoid about opening attachments I'm not sure of, but on opening this one, after reading you kind replies, it is just a reciept for the grand sum of 2€..Ta folks [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't necessarily a gain apart from infecting a PC although installing a trojan is just as likely to harvest data later on. Oh hang on I didn't agree did I, I had a point of view. Sorry it's all luvely, no problems, no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
