Fraud email alert - past due invoice

Posted: Thu 24 Apr 2014, 12:14pm.

A fraud email has been reported by Sussex users this morning, Thursday 24 April. The email has the subject line Past due invoice followed by a random number and notifies the recipient of a fictitious invoice. The attached zip file contains malware which tries to install a rogue application on the recipient's computer.

The message purports to come from a limousine hire company but is not genuine - it is a fraud email and should be ignored or deleted.

With all messages of this kind you should never:

  • open attachments
  • click on links
  • respond to requests for personal information
