Beware of eFax Corporate Malicious Email Notifications

This just happened to our business account today, and our phone lines are down so of course I clicked on the link. Now none of our Windows Office programs open.

Beware of Spam E-mail:

Thanks for the information - I just received such an email today (4 Sept. 2017). Since I was not expecting any faxes, and have no account, I wasn't tempted to click on anything - but checked just to be sure. Glad to have confirmation that it is spam.
