FBI Warns of Spam E-Mail

The FBI is warning consumers to be aware of the following multiple e-mail hoaxes confirming the recipient's purchase of a computer: The first e-mail hoax claims the recipient made the purchase through an online service provider. The e-mail contains a link if the recipient wishes to dispute the charges to his or her account. Once the link is selected, the recipient is requested to provide their account information. The second e-mail hoax includes a PDF attachment claiming to be the order summary. The attachment contains a virus that will infect your computer. These e-mails are fraudulent. Do not respond or open the attachment. If you have received this or a similar hoax, please file a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
