No phishing

Published on Thursday 20 October 2005 07:49

Recently there has been a spate of emails purporting to come from an apparently valid scotsman.com email address confirming your change of password - an example is reproduced below. If you are suspicious of any emails, delete them immediately.

Dear user [your username],

You have successfully updated the password of your Scotsman account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact Scotsman customer service at: [e-mail]

Thank you for using Scotsman!

The Scotsman Support Team

Attached to these emails is a zip file containing a worm which will run malicious code on your computer and alter the security settings. Do not open this zip file - immediately delete the email and any attachments.

Scotsman.com will not send you any emails containing attachments.
