Fraud HELP Please

HI all

I have just received a very alarming email but don't know if its fake or not.
Has anyone else received an email like this and if so what have you done with it,

Dear Jason
I am bothering you for a very significant cause. Though we are not familiar, but I have considerable ammount of personal info concerning you. The thing is that, most likely by mistake, the information of your account has been sent to me.
For instance, your address is:
my address was below
----------------------------
---------------
------------
-----------

I am a law-obedient citizen, so I decided to prevent may have been hacked. I pinned the file - Beament.dot that that was emailed to me, that you could learn what info has become obtainable for attackers. Document password is - ----------

I look forward to hearing from you,

There is a word doc attached with all my info in apparently and a password with it.
Ive not opened it as it could be a virus 2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)

Leave it alone and don't open the doc. Your address can be obtained from a few online sources, this is just a way for them to try and convince you that they do indeed have personal information about you.
If you're really worried about blackmail, report it to the police but don't expect them to arrive at your house any time soon with blues and twos going! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

It's spam and don't open the document.

The .dot extension hides a C or C++ executable. The following applies - 'Dot supports C and C++ style single line and multiple line comments'. So when you open and enter the password - bingo!

Ignore it and send it to your email provider then best of all delete it, or you could could contact your local police and give them the details. It sounds like overkill but best to stop them in your tracks. Think about it, if you had someone's details you wouldn't contact them and tell them, you would delete and forget.

Spammers instill doubt in the minds of their potential victims and contact from you gives them the idea that you are open to coercion.

Best of luck ______________________________

Just as an aside, the English is shockingly bad, which is always a strong clue it's a scam Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The really sad part is that they only need one or two people to fall for it and they're in!

One such scam / phishing email doing the rounds at the moment purports to come from Paypal, saying that 'your account has been restricted due to unusual transactions'. It provides a link on the email to login in to Paypal, but it is a scam.

You can tell that it is a scam, by looking at the sender's email address. Plus Paypal will not send out these types of email. Delete the email straight away and, if you have any concerns at all, either log on to your Paypal account in your usual way and contact Paypal to inform them of the email.

I'm sure there are hundreds more scams like this, so the more people are made aware of them, the more safe and secure we will all be. Thumbs Up

it's very easy to glean a surprising amount of personal info for a person. there are web sites devoted to it.
a friend of mine who is a senior civil servant was most surprised when I googled him when we were down the pub and found his home address, home email account and his private mobile number. he thought he'd covered his tracks

I got the same one - from somebody called Cheryl Ibale. I deleted it straight away. DO NOT be fooled by anything like this, there seems to be a lot going around at the moment particularly one I keep getting supposedly from paypal asking me to update my details using an embedded link. Unfortunately some people will be taken in by these snafs (shorthand for SUB NORMAL AND F Censored Censored Censored Censored D UP) - if only we had a button on the keyboard which allowed us to fry the pc of whoever sends these out... QUID FACIUM TIBI
