RE: FN-FORUM: Is someone trying to send us a virus?

whats the actuall file extension? youve listed is as _pdf, whats the bit
after the dot or is it .pdf?

If outlook is rejecting it, then its probably for a good reason. & if it
appears like its the same message, but coming from different address's then
i'd be inclined to say its a virus & wouldnt risk trying to open it via
webmail or anything.

Subject: FN-FORUM: Is someone trying to send us a virus?



Receiving emails mostly with the same subject -"thankyou" that include
an attachment which outlook is rejecting, have received about 10 of
these now all from different addresses.

Is there a chance that these files could contain viruses?

One of the attached files was named document9466_pdf

And two of the addresses that sent them:
[EMAIL REMOVED]
[EMAIL REMOVED]

very strange.

Am I just being paranoid?
