Yet another email scam or virus, I think.
 

This appeared in my email today. I'm kind of thinking I won't click on the attachment.......:p

No indeed. No details given. Scam for sure.

We had a similar scam in San Diego recently - the news reporter interviewed someone at the court house and they said they NEVER communicate via e-mail. They went into the reason why, but I won't bore you with it.

If you have a legal matter pending it is best to call your attorney directly or go down to the court house yourself. They may want you to forward the e-mail to them so they can track it.

Sounds like the robo phone call my brother received recently. Scammer looking for personal information.

Yes, I was wondering why they would be communicating with me via email instead of the U.S. postal system. Hmmmmm........

Federal, State, County, or City offices do not corespond via email out of the blue; this includes the IRS. The attachments that come along with this type of scam can either be phishing for personal information which they can obtain a profit from or be destructive to your computer. DO NOT OPEN!

I've gotten that one before too. But I just had a phone call from a live person stating that her records show that we've had our security system for 3 yrs. now and they wondered how well we like it. I went along with her and told her it was great! (We don't have one)....anyway, she tried to sell me an upgrade on it, and after about 5 "No, thank you's", I hung up on her......

wow, sounds very realistic - NOT!!!

Well that is weird. Good not to click on it. I got an email from my dtr-in-law in my comcast email which i hardly ever use. had a link in it. deleted it quickly.

I never open any thing with attachments-I made that mistake once. I got a weird one on the 17th-If they did not here form me within 24 hrs I would be arestid. I'm thinking if this came from a real official office that they would know how to spell. But I've never broken any laws so I would not have opened it any ways.
