The IC3 has received the following information concerning multiple e-mail hoaxes confirming the recipient's purchase of a computer:

• The first e-mail hoax claims the recipient made the purchase through an online service provider. The e-mail contains a link if the recipient wishes to dispute the charges to their account. Once the link is selected, the recipient is requested to provide their account information.
• The second e-mail hoax includes a PDF attachment claiming to be the order summary. The attachment contains a virus which will infect your computer.

The e-mails are fraudulent.

Be cautious of e-mails requesting personal and/or financial information. When made aware of any fraudulent purchases to your account, contact the respective company to file a report.

Further, do not open attachments from individuals you do not trust or know.

If you have received this, or a similar hoax, please file a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
