If you receive one of the following emails :

"Subject line : Photo Approval Needed
Hello,
Your photograph was forwarded to us as part of an article we are publishing for our May edition of Business Monthly. Can you check over the format and get back to us with your approval or any changes you would like. If the photograph is not to your liking then please attach a preferred one.
Kind regards,

or this :

"Hello,
I noticed whilst browsing your site that there were problems with some of your links, when I tried again with Internet Explorer the problems were not there so I assume that they were caused by me using the Mozilla browser.
As more people are turning to alternative browsers now it may be of help for you to know this. I have enclosed a screen capture of the problem so your team can get it fixed if you deem it an issue.
Kind regards,
James Andrews

then delete them immediately. They have .zip files attached to them called 'Screenshot of Site.zip' and 'Photo-Approval-Needed.zip'. Under no circumstances should you open these attachments. :cool:

Thanks for the warning. It is interesting you had an alert from Mailwasher. I received the first one the other day too but Mailwasher did not alert me. I could see there was a zip file attached and promptly deteleted it.
