agilebritGot this today:
Why, yes! I'll just open that not-at-all suspicious .zip file in this totally-legal-looking email that's not even addressed to me by name right away! You have frightened me just that much!
Protip to scammers: Exclamation points and misuse of words ("until March 8"? Really?) are a clue to everyone that your email isn't legit. Also, my house is paid for and my taxes are not overdue, and eviction notices are sent via snail mail, not email.
I mean, there's no legal firm logo or any language in this thing that would convince a deficient puppy that it was actually valid. It's like they're not even trying.
Fail.
Eviction Notification,
Be advised that you must exit the occupied premises
until March 08, 2014 or be forcibly removed!
Any resistance will be met with strict legal sanctions

Court representative,
Alexander Weiss
