High Court email?

[terryduff]

Hi

Today I received an email telling me to attend court with paper work on a specified date, there is an attachment and

A name at the bottom with high court clerk at the bottom, it has a reference number at the top and the sender is court clerk and it also says [email protected], I suspect it to be dodgy but thought I may get some good advice here.

 

Thanks

Yanky spam by the looks of it! do not open attachment!

Don't click the link. It is a S cam email. I have had loads in the past and they refer to a US court system

Thank you for the quick replys, it's what I suspected but it's always nice to hear it from someone else

Yes, have had these with a London court hearing. The attachment contains a virus, so make sure you do an anti virus check, with an up to date virus software.

US Court system itself has put out warnings about these s cams

EDIT. Couldn't work out why these links were giving a 'page not found'. Just worked it out. Both URLs include the word s cam [without the space] which CAG system is automatically replacing with [problem]. I understand why people's posts are changed that way but it rather messes up URLs! You'll have to copy and paste and change [problem] to s cam (without the space) to see what I am talking about.
