Fake Email Toll IPEC invoice/statement (80458249)

Yet another email spam with faked sender. This is not a genuine email about tolls and should be deleted. It also contains a pXLS file attachment which appears to be a mistake or to trick virus scanners into allowing it through.


Toll IPEC invoice/statement (80458249)


Please find attached your current Toll IPEC invoice/statement..

Should you have a query with your account, please contact the telephone number detailed on your invoice/statement or email your enquiry to ipecar@tollgroup.com

DoT Payment Receipt XLS Email Spam

The latest email spam/virus has a subjedct line of "DoT Payment Receipt" with an attachment of PaymentReceipt.XLS. As with all of these types of email it isn't sent by the Dept of Transport, the email sender address has been faked to appear that it's sent by DoT to give authenticity to the email.


The attachment contains a virus/malware that will try to install a banking stealer trojan on your PC. DO NOT open the attachment and if you have we'd strongly recommend a complete virus scan repeated over a few days to ensure any new variants are detected.
Often these viruses are not detected on the first day that they are discovered.

What is pXLS Excel File Attachment on Fake Telestra Bill?

The latest Malware/Virus doing the rounds purports to be a Telestra bill but contains an attachment with a pXLS file extension.

This doesn't look like a genuine Excel file extension (which is normally XLSX or XLS) so it's likely that the bot network sending out the emails has an error in it or it's designed to trick anti-virus software into allowing it through in the hope some users may rename it to a XLS and thus launch the virus payload.

If you receive this email then the safest option is to just delete it. It's not a real bill and is not sent by Telestra.

November Invoice INV-9771 from Eye on Books


Latest virus email. This is not a genuine email from Xero.com and they have no knowledge of these as the email sender is being faked. Just delete the email and don't open the attachment.


These word/excel attachments normally try to download either...

    Dridex banking trojan,
    Shifu banking trojan

... both of which are designed to steal login information regarding your bank accounts either by
key logging, taking screen shots or copying information directly from your clipboard (copy/paste)


===================================================================

Subject: November Invoice INV-9771 from Eye on Books
Attachment: Invoice INV-9771.xls

Hi,

 

Please find attached this months invoice for Xero & Receiptbank software.  You've completed a direct debit form, so this will have been paid from your nominated account, so please don't send through payment seperately.

 

Thanks again for your business, it's greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

Charles Klvana
