pdf spam

[WHUK-DAN]

I have already been a victim of one such spamy trick, but it came as a Microsoft update on my computer. I thought it to be genuine but it was not. I had to format my PC in order to get rid of it.
Now, I'm always alert to such spam.

I use to get some mails and need to download some some pdf files so I have be careful and I will also tell my staff to be careful about this. Thank you for that search Paul.

Thanks Paul for making aware of such spam, one more file type for trashing.

Thanks Paul for that info.

I was getting lots of spam with pdf. I was never tempted to open any and I use Mail Washer to check emails before downloading, but I did think that pdf's were safe - or safer anyway.

At least I now know that these are spammers and not customers trying to contact me - I can delete them with a clear mind.
