hi
have received an email this morning which I opened (hope I haven't done the wrong thing ), it has an attachment which I haven't opened because I,m not sure its legit. It went into spam folder and it s saying I have a parcel which they can't deliveras its got the wrong address on and that I must print off a label to get this parcel. After opening it I wondered if it was some scam as how did they get my email address. Does anyone know? Thanks for reading:)

Delete it, do not open the zip file! It's a trojan.
