Hi everyone,
Just received an email from MacDonald's advising I was invited to receive a "FREE DAY" meal - just print off the zipped invitation card enclosed in the email.

BEWARE - this is VERY LIKELY a Scam and most probably contains a worm or Trojan that will attach itself to your system once opened.

DO NOT OPEN and immediately delete.

I have to say I would delete it anyway b/c that food makes me sick just thinking about it LOL
But thanks for letting us know :)

That is not food. I think I'd rather eat dogfood.

I have to be honest. There are some things on the McDonald's menu that I really like. Chicken tenders (not the nuggets), Southern chicken sandwich, and the frozen strawberry lemonade - yum!

How would McD get your email? That's a red flag right there. I delete any unsolicited email with a zip file.

The same way you "win" all those lotteries you did not enter... :shock:

But seriously, anything with an attachment that I am not expecting, goes right into Trash.
