    I rarely open my Outlook email, but did just to find a fairly authentic looking mail from Amazon claiming that my regular £170 payment to Amazon Prime will be deducted from my account. Which was news to me as I don't subscribe to Amazon Prime. It invited me to click a link to change the situation. :eek:

    Naturally, I was suspicious, although as I was half awake at the time I nearly clicked the link. Instead I copy/pasted it into Kaspersky's online VirusDesk. A couple of VirusTotal scanners and Phish Tank caught it as well.

    It's a jungle out there! :cautious:
