[LUG] Scam emails

 

My wife and I both use Linux. We do occasionally get scam emails, not a
lot thankfully. I have noticed some new ones recently. These refer to a
court case which we are supposed to attend. My wife apparently has two
ongoing cases in the US, while I have one in London.

All rubbish of course. To find out the details we are supposed to open
up an attachment, yeah right!! I did just wonder though, if we were
stupid enough to open up that attachment would any nasty program fail to
run because we don't use Windows? I am not going to try that out just
to see, but can anyone tell me?

Thanks

Neil
