>Hi everybody,

>We got an e-mail addressed with the correct e-mail address from Eddie Garcia with the subject August Payment Summary, Invoice #17385, message body "collection efforts with this Past-Due Account form" and attachment "Invoice.doc" I did open the attachment in preview in a fear we may have some bills unpaid for. And it was just the usual "buy software" crap...

Did you know Eddie Garcia? Or did anything else about the email give you any indication that it was legit? How you described it, I would have added it to my blocked list, deleted it immediately after that, and forgot about it. What made you think it was a valid email? Those are very typical now.
