    I got an email from Guadalupe Schroeder subject line saying "your privacy has been abused naked pictures of you on facebook" with a zip file attached.

    I deleted it as I expect it is a virus but did not find any ref to it online.Did anyone get this?

    Well then go in to your trash folder and get it?

    Why are you worried, it's just spam?

    Non-issue really. I see hundreds of these emails every month in my spam box.

    When an email sounds dodgy, it is dodgy.

    Why would a spammer have a trace of their spamming online? What I was getting you to do was to get the senders address and google that. Mightn't bring up anything but was worth a shot.

    I'd say it was just a temporary address then. As other posters have said, delete and move along.
