I've forwarded it to abuse@paycom.net but I'm a little worried that someone may have hacked my Visa account ... though I try to be careful where I use it online.

Has anyone out there received a similar email?

I've contacted my credit card company and apparently the attachment to this email contains a Trojan that is designed to scour my hard drive for bank details and send them back to its master. Visa have no record of that amount being paid from my account on the date cited ... so it's just a phish.

Thankfully, being reasonably astute in these matters I haven't opened the damn thing.

I am now feeling quite belligerant ... although Visa were really helpful.
