    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 c***k 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.

    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.

    • August 21, 2014 at 5:51 AM by info

      Take it to the repair shop, because you have tried everything.

  • August 20, 2014 at 1:22 AM by an anonymous user from: Greenfield, California, United States

    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.

    • August 20, 2014 at 8:08 AM by info

      Never respond to the email messages, because you are letting the Cybercriminals know that there is someone actively using it. And, once they know this, they will continue to send you more spam and malicious emails.

  • August 19, 2014 at 10:43 PM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, California, United States

    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.

  • August 19, 2014 at 2:54 PM by an anonymous user from: Tilbury, England, United Kingdom

    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.

    • August 19, 2014 at 3:12 PM by info

      You cannot stop it from being sent to your email address, but you can filter it as Spam or Junk.

  • August 19, 2014 at 5:33 AM by an anonymous user from: Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

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

    • August 19, 2014 at 6:31 AM by info

      Set the email as Junk or Spam, so your email provider filter can filter it and put it in the Junk/Spam folder. Cyber-criminals are continuously sending out these email messages, hoping to trick someone in opening the malicious attachment.

  • August 18, 2014 at 1:01 PM by an anonymous user from: Jonesboro, Arkansas, United States

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

    • August 18, 2014 at 3:53 PM by info

      Currently, it only affects computers running the Windows operating system, but we do not recommend clicking the link from any device.

  • August 18, 2014 at 7:06 AM by an anonymous user from: Singapore, Central Singapore, Singapore

    what can I do if I clicked on the link?

    • August 18, 2014 at 11:12 AM by info

      Scan your computer or device with the antivirus software installed on it.

  • August 17, 2014 at 6:55 PM by an anonymous user from: Quezon City, National Capital Region, Philippines

    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.

    • August 17, 2014 at 10:22 PM by info

      It is like spam, very hard to stop.

  • August 13, 2014 at 9:52 PM by an anonymous user from: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

    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?

    • August 13, 2014 at 1:56 PM by info

      The virus currently does affects smartphones, but the cyber-criminals can change this at any time. So, it is extremely important not to attempt to open the attachment regardless of the device that you are using.

  • August 12, 2014 at 1:07 PM by an anonymous user from: New Philadelphia, Ohio, United States

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

  • August 6, 2014 at 12:28 PM by an anonymous user from: Washington, District of Columbia, United States

    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!

    • August 8, 2014 at 12:35 PM by an anonymous user from: West Palm Beach, Florida, United States

      thanks and I have already informed them that they have been placed into a law suit where they will be held accountable for any and every loss that they have caused...

      now it is time to find them in person so that they can face their judgment...

      and I am starting my search with the members of the Palm Beach State College Palm Beach Gardens Branch, because the Palm Beach County Circuit Court system has already stated that they are liars and that not a single word of truth ever comes out of their heart or mind or mouth on any of their writings or textings of even sign language type of communications

      I just received the same message. court #9666

  • August 4, 2014 at 4:52 PM by an anonymous user from: Orlando, Florida, United States

    Thank you for your help.

  • August 4, 2014 at 7:47 AM by an anonymous user from: Ashburn, Virginia, United States

    I got that same fake email.

  • August 3, 2014 at 6:48 PM by an anonymous user from: Sullivan, Missouri, United States

    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.

  • August 3, 2014 at 1:11 PM by an anonymous user from: San Francisco, California, United States

    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.

    • August 6, 2014 at 3:25 PM by an anonymous user from: Columbus, Ohio, United States

      If you are EVER called to appear in court, they will NEVER send you an email correspondence.

      Any letter from a court will ALWAYS come in your snail mail. Please be careful and do not click on links from either people that you do not know or the subject line and recipient lines are blank.

      These are the most common oversights and if they do not have this information in the email that you got, then chances are that it went to millions of people with email.

      Remember yesterday (8/4/14) news report about cybercriminals getting 1.4 billion user names and passwords... this is how they can do it. PLEASE USE CAUTION AT ALL TIMES!

  • July 31, 2014 at 1:56 AM by an anonymous user from: Perth, Western Australia, Australia

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

    • July 31, 2014 at 9:32 AM by info

      Currently, it is impossible to stop email spoofing.

  • July 30, 2014 at 7:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Raritan, New Jersey, United States

    Does this virus affect iPhones or chromebooks?

    • July 30, 2014 at 10:07 PM by info

      The virus currently does affects smartphones, but the cyber-criminals can change this at anytime. So, it is extremely important not to attempt to open the attachment regardless of the device that you are using.

    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.

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

  • July 23, 2014 at 5:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Fargo, North Dakota, United States

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

  • July 23, 2014 at 2:57 PM by an anonymous user from: Evesham, New Jersey, United States

    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.

  • July 16, 2014 at 1:20 PM by an anonymous user from: Jacksonville, Florida, United States

    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.

    • July 16, 2014 at 2:11 PM by info

      Once you didn't open the malicious files ending with '.zip' or '.exe', you are ok. But, do a full scan of your computer with the antivirus software installed on it.

  • July 16, 2014 at 8:10 AM by an anonymous user from: Bristol, England, United Kingdom

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

    • July 16, 2014 at 8:16 AM by info

      No, but it is not recommended that you do do this.

  • July 15, 2014 at 1:46 PM by an anonymous user from: Phoenix, Arizona, United States

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

  • July 15, 2014 at 12:31 PM by an anonymous user from: Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States

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

  • July 14, 2014 at 11:57 AM by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

    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?

    • July 14, 2014 at 12:25 PM by info

      Currently, only Windows based PCs. But, the cyber-criminals can change that.

      • July 14, 2014 at 12:37 PM by an anonymous user from: Newark, New Jersey, United States

        So this means at this time I am ok unless they change the ability of the virus to go onto Androids and then I click the link again, correct?

        • July 14, 2014 at 1:13 PM by info

          Yes, but install a free antivirus on your Android and do a full scan.

      This is the same virus email message. All the cyber-criminals did was to change the link address or URL.

  • July 14, 2014 at 10:17 AM by an anonymous user from: Edgware, England, United Kingdom

    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.

  • July 14, 2014 at 9:37 AM by an anonymous user from: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

    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!

  • July 14, 2014 at 6:34 AM by an anonymous user from: Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States

    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

  • July 14, 2014 at 6:04 AM by an anonymous user from: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

    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.

    • July 14, 2014 at 6:30 AM by info

      The version of this virus that we know of, works only on computers running Windows.

      But, we dont recommend clicking on the link even if you are using another operating system.

      This is because these cyber-criminals can create a version of the virus for your operating system at any time.

      Your computer will not get infected unless you open the file.

    • July 12, 2014 at 2:22 PM by info

      Although this malicious email was designed to infect PCs, it is not recommended that you click on from any device.

      Ensure that u have antivirus on your phone.

  • July 12, 2014 at 10:44 AM by an anonymous user from: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

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

    • July 12, 2014 at 2:07 PM by info

      It is hard to tell. So, it is not recommended clicking on link from any device.

  • July 12, 2014 at 10:37 AM by an anonymous user from: West Columbia, South Carolina, United States

  • July 11, 2014 at 7:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

  • July 11, 2014 at 5:42 PM by an anonymous user from: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

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

    • July 11, 2014 at 7:07 PM by info

      No. But do not attempt to open these malicious files from any device.

  • July 11, 2014 at 1:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Chapin, South Carolina, United States

    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?

    • July 11, 2014 at 2:29 PM by info

      Downloading the file only will not infect your computer. The file must be downloaded onto your computer, and then open or executed.

        I did not download either file but I did delete one of them. There were two files or two copies of the same file. Should I just delete the email?

          Yes.

    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.

      I don't think your email address is being used to send these email messages. There is a technique called email spoofing, where cyber-criminals can modify the email message, to make it appear as if it was send from someone else. They do this by changing the sender's email address.

      So, if they send an email message and set your email address as the sender, and that email message bounces, you will receive the bounced email message, because your email address was set as the sender.

      But, if you want to be on the safe side, go ahead and change email password.

        You MAY want to be careful about your internet address. In this case, the link to the virus changes and updates based on the version of the message going out. When I looked at the message properties (have received two of these e-mails over the last week) the URL for the virus changes, and it appears that they are using legit business addresses as a proxy for their virus link. So, though they may not be using a person's e-mail to send the messages per say, they are hijacking site urls.

    How do you get rid of them?

      Currently, it is virtually impossible to stop these spammers and scammers. So, this is why we educate persons about these scams, so they do not fall victims to them.

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

      No. They are only targeting computers running the Windows operating system. But, never click on a malicious link, because they may detect the device you are using and send a malware designed for it.

    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?

  • July 10, 2014 at 4:09 PM by an anonymous user from: Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States

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

  • July 10, 2014 at 3:13 PM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    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?

    • July 10, 2014 at 6:22 PM by info

      No, this malware will only infect devices running the Windows operating system. But, remember that cyber-criminals can detect the device you are using and send a malware designed for it.

      So, it is not recommended clicking on a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment on any device.
