We have a mystery shopping assignment.

This was sent to me by a reader – who tells me it comes with an attachment that her malware filter will not let her open.

I hope you can see that this is not a genuine “mystery shopping” job.  For a start, the email address that this was sent from is apparently unrelated to the email address you are told to reply to.

Delete the email, don’t reply and don’t open the attachment which probably contains some kind of malware designed to help itself to your precious passwords.
