>>>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.

>The subject of the message and especially the body made me wonder for a second...

I understand. You reacted exactly like they wanted you to. That's what makes them dangerous.
