I have had an email from the address shown on this page http://sanesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/remittance-advice-from-sky-group.html
It's malware, so treat with due care.

Cheers, Chris. I had one today and just binned it immediately.

Yeah. I do the same. Any emails of origins I don't recognise get killed!

I've had a few fake PayPal examples. I told PayPal the first few times, but they seem mostly uninterested, so I no longer bother.

Note: Advice to the uninitiated. If you receive an email from a source you don't know. DO NOT OPEN IT. It could carry all sorts of bugs & spyware.

Can merely opening the email do anything? Maybe if you have html view selected and for it to download pictures?

I just use plain text for reading emails.
