Beware email not from CNN

edda

I've heard several warnings in the last few days about an email supposed to be from CNN - which isn't.

Think something similar has done the rounds before, but if you're not aware, this one has a subject of Daily Top 10. A check on the sender will give you an address not related to CNN at all.

The danger lies in downloading anything in the email which are supposed to be valid links, such as a video player or news reel of an event.

As usual, if you're not expecting an email, always check the sender. If in doubt, delete it - saves time, money and heartache.

Yes, I started getting these and my friend sometimes signs me up for things as a joke so I thought it was her, but was a bit suspicious because the address it was from was a .co.kr address. I went to the CNN website to unsubscribe just incase, but they had no record of my e-mail address so I e-mailed them to let them know this stuff is appearing.

Thanks for this; I didn't recognise them so I deleted them.

luckily I deleted them too. They are annoying and carry malware

i had already deleted these as i had not subscribed to any of these. Thanks for telling all the forum members know. Basic rule is any unsolicited mail is suspicious.
