Fake Email Messages with A Virus Attached - Statement from

The email messages below which are riddled with typographical errors, and which claim that the recipients should open the attachment to view the statement, are fakes and are malicious. The emails were sent by cyber-criminals with a malicious Microsoft Word or Excel document attached that contains Macro virus, which will only work or activate if the recipients enable Macro or "Content". If Macro or "Content" is enabled, this will activate the Macro virus, which will download a Trojan horse from a malicious or compromised website that will infect the victims' computers.

Once infected, the Trojan horse will allow cyber-criminals to remotely gain access to the victims' computers from anywhere around the world without their knowledge. This will allow the cyber-criminals to spy on them, steal their user names, passwords, personal and financial information, which will be used to steal their money or identity.

The victims of the fake email messages are advised to do a full scan of their computers with the anti-virus software installed on them.

Fake Email Messages with A Virus Attached - "Statement from"
an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

I have one better!
The email arrived with the blurb about Cleantec Equipment Ltd, word for word as your example above. The problem is that the clowns sending it obviously got themselves confused as the subject heading is: Statement from 7DIGITAL GROUP PLC
Needless to say, 7Digital Group are nothing to do with Cleantec and are likely to be the latest victims of this scam. I declined the invitation to open the attachment and have deleted the email.

JB
