Unreadable bill as .js file

Belville

My bill is in the form of a .js file. How do I open it? Clicking on 'View' produces a page of code.

Irish Water: Amy A

Hi Belville,

Thanks for getting in touch.

We're currently looking into this for you, and will contact you with an update as soon as we can.

Kind regards,
Amy

Hi Belville,

Would you mind advising if you're trying to view your bill through the My Water section of our website? Could you please send us a PM with a screenshot of the method you are using to try and view your bill?

We can then investigate this further for you.

Kind regards,
Amy

I think I got the same kind of email today. Actually, it claims to be from both Electric Ireland and Irish Water.
Do not try to open it!!!
There is obfuscated (encrypted) javascript code attachement there.
Very very likely this is some form of scam email/virus.

Very very likely this is some form of scam email/virus.

Thanks for your message and for highlighting this to us.

We have been made aware of emails being sent asking people to 'download a bill'. These emails are not from Irish Water and we recommend that you delete it immediately and to not click on the attachment or provide any financial information.

We have also posted information about this on our website.

why are you opening anything from Irish Water?

There are a number of scam emails saying they are from various organisations with .js files attached. Whatever you do don't open them.

If you look closely at the Eircom one it is from EICOM !!!!
Plus eircom doesn't exist any more. It's eir!
