#269434 — Suspicious "invoice" email?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Dear List,

I received the following today from (Jerry Henley at) Ella White 
<eltonsshurtz0@gmail.com>.

I suspect fraud here, so have not opened the invoice he/she attached.

Can you possibly tell me whether the message is legitimate?

Thanks for your time!

Peter Armstrong

It came through this list, so no.

ahem,
I got it as well.
Having never heard of the company, i simply removed it..although?
Given Google's decision to remove basic html, which gave users the ability 
to flag such addresses,  that someone still sent spam says allot about 
google speaking personally.

The email came through a public mailing list, so as others have
already said, there's zero reason to believe that it is a legitimate
invoice intended for you (for any value of "you").

Therefore: Just delete the email.

Also note that the "from" name and email address is almost certainly
faked in some way shape or form. It may or may not actually belong to
a real person, but even if it does, that person is almost certainly a
victim themselves. DO NOT direct any complaints to that email address;
more generally, do not direct complaints to the envelope-from email
address of _any_ spam.

Spam occasionally getting through here is an unfortunate side-effect
of the debian-user mailing list being set up to allow people who
aren't already subscribed to it to post to it.

I did not spend much time on it. Some, ill informed or naive people would have
just paid it, or it could have been an attempt to infect a (MS Windows) PC, or
it could have been an attempt to get bank a/c details.

Anyway: things like that I forward to the address below and they are looked at
by people in GCHQ or similar -- you can help them to combat these reprobates by
forwarding suspicious emails:
