Thank you katheryn. I have received 3 such emails in the last week here in New Zealand. I just felt guilty didn't even think it was a scam. I knew I wasn't up to no good.

One BIG clue is all the misspelled words in it. When you see such a poorly written email, you know it is a fake. Don't even open an email that you see misspellings in the subject line unless it is from a friend & you know he/she is a poor speller! Delete when you read the poorly spelled subject line or you don't recognize the sender & it seems to be an odd "name."--Suzy

I agree with Suzy, plus, anyone who uses "going to get suspended" isn't very professional nor proficient in the English language. Using email is not a private notification method. I'm glad my yahoo dumps spam before I even have to see it.
Glad your virus checker caught it!
