I received an email this morning from a friend; not her usual chat, just one sentence, saying she was having trouble with attachments, and to go to a Google page....

A bit phishy I thought, and went for a wander on google.

Yup, it's bogus.

The article:

Be careful!!

I've sent an email to my friend, I hope she gets things cleaned up soon.
