Virus Email Message - Green Winick Attorneys at Law - Notice to Appear in Court

Fellow victims,

Oh gee wiz, you shouldn't have opened it, or you need to get virus software. Most of us know not to open such emails. Most of us have antivirus programs. Lets get off the obvious and get to the meat of the matter.

Is there a person out there who has REAL experience protecting their firms from cyber crime that can spot, track and get help from companies that deal in such things? We need to go on the offensive and find these people not just gee, I need to watch what email I open or oh-my, I forgot to update my virus definitions, assuming they are up-to-date. F*** that! They all don't come from China. It could be some kids that left a chink in their armour. Yea, Yea, Yea, it costs money, just delete it, and move on. But I lost a computer because of such an attack and lost 50,000 photos.

I'm p*ss** because this latest attack happened two days before a hearing. It could have originated from a person, relative, co-worker of a person in my neighborhood.

We're never going to stop this if we just be defensive.

Report the Spam to http://www.spamcop.net

I also have recieved this notice and had opened it.

Not overly aware of the process. Now computer has trouble booting.

I am able to boot it in safe mode but am not able to do alot. Have tried various things, even tried to reinstall windows but nothing seems to have worked.

Is there anything recomended that I do to specifically deal with this problem or should I just take it to a repair shop.

Received the notice to appear in my spam folder. Since it tells me that if I do not attend, the judge may rule against me.

Since I have dealt with small claims, if I do not attend the judge will not may rule against me.

Copied your statement about it being phony, pasted it into the e-mail and sent it back to them.

I have also received emails that my Spam filter caught from a source called "EZPass" (I think) that said I owed road tolls, and another from "Officer of the Court" which claimed to be a summons of a sort.

I of course don't know where they got my email address, but I'm also plaged with 'Pen*s Enlargement' messages, Bauch and Lomb sunglass ads, and V*agora/Canadian Pharmacy harrassment.

Hope not too many people have also been harassed by these dumb things.

I got this email, but didn't open it, but instead found this instead.

Also my antivirus picked it up. Is there anyway of stopping this.

Getting this still on a daily basis although I've never opened one.

I opened this from my iphone. Will it have the same effects as if I'd opened it on my computer?

what can I do if I clicked on the link?

I've been getting this e-mail for quite a while. How can I get rid of this? It goes directly to my junk mail. I've already blocked that e-mail address but I still keep on getting that e-mail.

I kept getting Notice to appear in Court emails over a period of some months. I clicked on the first one and my Avast! antivirus warned me it was a Trojan virus. Since then I've just deleted them and they seem to have stopped coming.

Thanks for the warning about other similar notifications.

How does it affect my smartphone if I clicked on the message?

dwalker1931 @att.net: this is the email address that keeps sending this to me.

These "lawyers" do not address me with my legal name and/or court name, place and time to appear. At first I momentarily thought, "What have I done now?", but quickly realized that if this was an official notice it would contain the information listed above.

They prey on novices and I use the term in a in a non-critical way.

PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ANY EMAIL THAT DOES NOT ADDRESS YOU BY NAME (NOT BY EMAIL

ADDRESS), AND/OR YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE WHO ITHE EMAIL IS FROM!

be smart, be careful, and don't be scammed!

Thank you for the information. Received an email from this entity, going to do a virus update now.

Thanks for posting. I just got the email too did not download. Thanks for going to the trouble !

Thank you for your help.

I got that same fake email.

This is the second one of these I received the first one had the court #6022. The new one has Notice to appear court #5132. I do not have any court appearances for any reason.

The only info on it is the name of the law firm Green Winick. This firm needs to look into this and put a stop to it. Just saying. My computer caught it as a virus so it removed it. Fortunate that my virus detect made sure it didn't crash my compute.

I just saw something from those guys in my JUNK file.....which I simply empty every day. A notice to 'appear' or something. I did NOT open it......but after emptying that JUNK folder....I decided to do a search, and found THIS site. Only because I was a witness to something about 2 months ago, and AM expecting to be called in to testify.

That's particularly f#@ked-up.....for people who actually ARE expecting to hear about some court case somewhere.

How do I stop the email spoofing you talk about? I keep getting hundreds of reject messages from email?

Does this virus affect iPhones or chromebooks?

I have received 3 of theses so far; each with a different "case number" (#6759, #9115 and #6299).

Mine says No#7164

Thanks for this alert. I received this exact email a few days ago and opened it, but luckily my McAfee Protection captured the malicious Trojan.

However I noticed new pop-ups have begun on my computer which I suspect may also be virus related. Today I just received another email from this false law-firm and decided to go online to see if there was anything on this "suspicious" firm and saw your alert.

Thank you so much for updating us and helping me to prevent a computer disaster.

How do I stop these emails?

Thank you for letting us know. This happened to my last computer and I lost everything in it as I did not have it backed up.

It came from a Chicago Lawyer.

JUST ANOTHER REASON TO HATE THE NO GOOD MONEY GRUBBING, GREEDY SON'S OF B*TCHES.

Just got 2 of these today. They looked shady so I didn't even click on the link; just googled Green Winick

I just got this and my computer alerted me to not open, that it was dangerous. Why are these people getting away with this?

I just got an email today. I did not open the link and I googled "Green Winick Attorney". So very happy that this warning was here.

Did received an e-mail on 16 July 14. Read e-mail (what I could - its was in spanish ).

But, did not open; the two attachments :daticert.xmi (729B) and smime.p7s (2kb).

Did call JSO no help . re: cofscpa @pec.cofscpe.it ; notice to appearance court no. 7445 : look it up on e-net a scam : and deleted it off.

Do you think it safe now.

I had clicked on the email but frm my phone not computer so it couldn't open anyway.Shld I worry abt it.

The court varies; mine was No#9951 but the rest of it seems the same.

I see everyone seeing the email, but how do you remove it once downloaded?

I opened this on my iphone. What do I need to do now?

Does anyone know if this will infect Android phones? I have Samsung S-5 and unfortunately clicked the link. Nothing appears to have happened and a scan detected nothing. Will this affect my Samsung S-5 or only Windows-based PC's?

Received an email from the following individual:

I have had this problem for the last two weeks from different people and they come in my spam every day. Is there any way to stop these e-mails getting through. I have not opened any spam mail I don't know. They cause a lot of stress make me think that I have done something really wrong.

Just an FYI - this isn't the only court order e-mail going around. I have received several e-mails likes this one from a number of different "organizations" claiming to be law firms. They seem to be a new trend, and likely a few different scammers using this approach from around the world.

As others stated, you will NEVER received an e-mail issued summons or order - these have to be issued via hard copy and are often done in person.

If in doubt, throw it out!

thank you for the heads up. i've rec'd other scams from same sender "cliff" and deleted them as well as add to block sender. thanks again

I'm using a Mac and opened the website and have downloaded the file. I have not opened the downloaded file. Will my computer be affected, considering it is a Mac and I have not opened it?

Will a simple virus scan and removal be the end of this trojan or will it show up in other areas of the computer?

Sorry for the many questions, I hit panic mode.

Thank you.

Does this virus infect iPads? I just opened the email. :-(. Thank you.

Got several emails like this email addresses were all different (see below)

brandon @mpmglondon.com

hans.joachim.herrmann @herrmann-umzuege.de

The other, I deleted before obtaining web address.too bad somebody doesnt track where it originates from to get these scum!

I can't understand with these wacky email addresses, how they can get thru to send.

Everyone should know that a true notice would be served or arrive via certified mail, NEVER by email!

Mine came from "GreenWinick Lawyers <jerry @ryanrds.com>" with a link going to the domain www.viscom-online.com. The text was:

Received one this morning at 5:09am CDT USA ...... This is the e-mail address it came from ......

Hi, I just accidently downloaded this virus. What do I do now?

Hi, I have received this email over the past few weeks, I thought it was a spam/con so I didn't open it.

What if I clicked on the link on my iPhone?

What about iPhones can it infect those as well or just computers?

Mine has "NO#4869". Notice by email would not meet legal requirements for a true court case, but they hope not everybody knows that.

The latest email (which I will not open--Courts/Attorneys will SNAIL MAIL you any summons etc) is: Notice to appear in court No#7784

I received the same email from Green Whinick,court no 7637.

Notice to appear in court.

Thank you for letting me know, when i cut and posted this into google, thankfully your smart screen was not working properly, so i could not open it as yet.

Thank you for posting this alert. I received this email. I'm glad that I opened it on my iPhone and not my computer.

It was unable to load itself to my phone. Thank goodness! ??

Does it affect your email if you open it with your iPhone?

If someone clicked on the link but did not download the files did they get the files or do you have to download them to have a problem?

Can anyone help me? I am currently receiving over 100 delivery failure notices per day as this hacker/virus has obtained my work email address and must be using it to sent out these malicious emails.

How do you get rid of them ?

I clicked on this yesterday by mistake. Does that mean it would definitely have infected my iPad?

I just received the email. Any real lawyer would send paperwork to your address or if emailed as an attachment.

Don't put yourself through the trouble of losing all your work prior to the trojan horse virus!

I opened the attachment on my iphone, will it become infected or is it just a windows virus?

I opened it on my iphone, will that be infected with the virus or is it just computers?

What happens if I have opened it into a phone email account! Can it still infect?

Will iPhones or iPads be affected by the Trojan horse virus?
