Please help, I am in a big trouble!

[Stefany93]

Hello,

Sorry to annoy you, but I have just received this e - mail. Here says that I have break some law of the Internet. I am very afraid, I am a paid member in several websites, but I always buy 1 year membership and I pay everything I do not know why the international internet laws send me this message. Do you think it is real, or just a spam?
Please help!

Here is the e - mail below!

I believe this is a scare email. I have not heard of any legitimate companies trying to collect by email. It's usually by telephone calls or letters via the postal service. I'd ignore the email and do not respond. That would tell the sender they have a "live" email address and you'll probably get lots more spam or scare mails. I'd also suggest removing your email address from your post.

Looks like spam. Whats there in the body of the mail?

Just see how much they're insisting you to click that 'unsubscribe' link, just to send you to a malicious site and bombard your pc with malware, rogueware etc.

Its just A SPAM. Trash the email.

And pls, edit your post and remove your mail address if you don't want to have some more mails like this scaring you.

Seems like a hoax to me.

The grammar is incorrect in quite a few places

U.A.E & international Collection Network

they've used a small i

Bounced Cheque

a so called legal department wouldn't use the term "bounced"

This is an proper list and if you have received this e-mail by mistake

they've used "an" instead of "a"

plus they've not left any contact number for you to call them back.

If they were legit they wouldn't make mistakes like this.

I agree - this is scare mail and nothing to be worried about.

Some examples of poor grammar that leads me to this conclusion:

This is an proper list

unsolicited e-mail until we mention automated remove instructions

and do not wish to further receive this e-mail please

Legal-type emails do not contain such obvious mistakes. The UAE is rich enough to afford lawyers with an excellent command of the English language.

Ignore the email, and add the address to your junk/spam filter

EDC and econsult in the UAE both point to websites with known malicious link, giving more credibility that the email you received is fake. Ignore it.

Guys, Thank you so much for your help! I am really calmer now. I added this e - mail to my ignore list and now I can finally relax thanks to you. Long live Seven Forums!
I am really happy that this is only a scare e - mail. I will watch for such spelling mistakes in the future.

Happy Days Stephanie

Stefany - happy computing!

Your welcome. Glad we could help.
Also note that in future, you may receive some mails as if they were sent from microsoft, FBI, your bank etc. and some may look very convincing, for eg, they may contain microsoft or FBI logo/signature to deceive you.
But there'll be some things they share in common-
1. Will ask you to click a link. Don't click that. If in doubt, manually write the address in your browser field.
2. Will ask you download a file attached to the mail.
3. Contain grammar and spelling mistakes.
4. If you want to a more advanced to find the real sender, check the mail's headers, (click 'Show original' if in case you use Gmail.)
5. Never reply to those spam messages, if you do, your id is marked as live and you get more spams.

First, there is no such thing as Internet Law. This is a scam. My next concern is that by opening the email you didn't end up with some malware. If I were you, I'd run a full virus scan and full scan with Windows Defender.

 

[Stefany93]

Thank you very much, for the help again. You are all very kind. @EzioAuditore thank you for the useful tips.
@Ambimom I will check it.
@marsmimar, you have the best solution, I simply need to find where the wine is
