BEWARE: Turkcell Virus Email
« on: January 15, 2013, 16:56:57 PM »
I received an email from "Turkcell" - well I say I did, if I am a carpet shop in Turkey then it was for me. I am not a carpet shop in Turkey and never have been, therefore I find that I do not owe them the 1.659,46 TL they are requesting.

Zip file attached to email, DO NOT OPEN!!!

Isn't it odd though, how people with a Turkey connection seem to get them - or maybe people without a Turkey connection get them too but don't know it  :)

I assume we've all been sold on a list or something over there.

Same here, been having these for over a month now,
and to two different e mail addresses. Like anyone else,
delete or put into spam.

Turkish Airlines this morning, my online ticket confirmation (I haven't booked a flight with Turkish Airlines, strangely enough).

All details in the nasty little attachment :(

your carpet was expensive,mine was 1399tl,Turkish version of the Nigerian scam.Worrying though that they latch on to E mail addresses.
Is it possible to trace the sender?
