yeah like im going to open that zip file!!

about once a day i get an email come though from ether "Some bank" or "HMRC" saying some random BS and then have a zip file attachment.

do they think im gonna fall for this scam. the email is poorly written with headers that dont match up. the .exe file would not work on my machine cos as i am a LInux user, Windows programs do not work.

my hunch is that cos of this cryptolocker virus that is going about they are trying to catch me out with that. well ha nice try.. if you want my money do the like the rest of your countrymen and beg oxfam for it.

this is a typical one (headers included)
