I received this email:
Hello!
Attention! The wire sent to Maksim Zverev, Moscow, Russia has been blocked by our security service.
Your credit card issuing bank has halted the transaction by the demand of the Federal Criminal Investigation Service (case No. 74686 since the recipient has been undergoing the international retrieval by the InterPol.
Please contact the closest Western Union office and make sure you have your ID card, the credit card that was used for making the payment, and the invoice file with you.
(The invoice file is attached to this message; please print it out and hand it to our agent.)
You can find the address of the closest Western Union agent on our website at http://www.westernunion.com
Thank you!
"Maksim Zverev"? Never heard of him (or her or them?)!
Western Union? Never used them!
The attached file is a .zip compressed file which, when opened, presents you with an .exe file. I looked no further than that as an exe can do untold damage to your system! Don't open it! Even if your virus scanner says it's OK (the virus scanner may not know about the nastiness contained inside yet!).
If you receive one of these and you don't use (or even know of) Western Union then just delete it.
I tell you these things so you don't get the hassle.
