Phishing Email Scam - GuiltySpark - 01-16-2019 Just thought I'd share this email I got sent to my Junk folder, it stated in the Header that it was sent from me using my own email address (spoofing), however after investigation it turns out to be elsewhere and they didn't do a very good job of hiding it.
The email states as follows:
Quote: Hello! The sender by the way was from Utah via the UnifiedLayer ISP so now I've shared this I'd like to see aforementioned video, something tells me it's a load of crap and I really don't have a Trojan on my Linux system but hey, maybe I'm wrong . Anyway, if anyone does or has had one of these emails come through and are unsure, don't be alarmed as it's no more worrisome than an asteroid striking us tonight at precisely 1:00am and wiping out the entire planet. So calm your breeches!
