Credit Card Scam

Look out for Credit Card Email Scams! If you receive something like the example below, its either a virus or a scam.  Please be careful about these kind of emails. They will have a zip file attached which I'm sure is a way to install a virus on your computer.


Subject: Credit card transaction report (Visa, MC)
