The US Federal Trade Commission issued a release late Monday night warning of a bogus email circulating. The email claims that it is from the FTC, making reference of a "complaint" filed with the FTC against whomever recieves the email. This scam includes links and an attachment that apparently will download a virus to the users machine.
According to the FTC's release, the common version of the email in circulation appears to be from the address "[email protected]", and does a number of other spoofs (in the return-path and reply-to fields) to further obfuscate the email origination point. Like most scam emails of this type, you'll be able to spot it by it's "grammatical errors, misspellings, and incorrect syntax."
The FTC encourages you to forward the email to [email protected] and delete it, but it'll likely be just as effective to hit the "mark as spam" button and move on. The virus appears to install a “key logger” that could potentially grab passwords and account numbers.
