Being the holiday season and my doing a bit of online shopping, I did try to open the attachment, even though I KNOW I hadn't purchased anything for the money amount (or type, for that matter) listed. My computer wouldn't let me. I know, I know - dumb. What can I say? It was first thing this morning and I hadn't had my coffee yet.

Anyone ever get one of these?

Scam. Do not open that file. It is a zip file. No store would send that. When your computer opens it it probably load a virus onto your computer. Hopefully your computer security realized that when you tried and that is why it did not open.

Scam. I got one yesterday from "Target," that said they had my purchase that I ordered online at Thanksgiving and I needed to click on the link to find out how to pick it up. No. Way. In. Hell. For starters, I've never ordered online from Target. Secondly, I am not clicking on that link. Ever.

Mostly from Target, Wal-Mart, and Costco. Makes my heart jump and my stomach clench every time.

That's what I figured when my computer refused to open it. So far, it doesn't appear that anything has happened virus-wise. Fingers crossed. I will be more aware in the future!
