Virus Alert

A virus is currently doing the rounds which attempts to use the domain host name in the body of the mail to convince you it's from the support team of the website. V-Flyer has been targeted, so if you get an email claiming to be from the V-Flyer Support Team, DO NOT open the ZIP attachment. It is not from V-Flyer (we don't even have a Support Team!).

An example of the mail is below:

dear user orders,

It has come to our attention that your V-flyer User Profile ( x ) records are out of date. For further details see the attached document.

Thank you for using V-flyer!
The V-flyer Support Team



+++ Attachment: No Virus (Clean)
+++ V-flyer Antivirus - http://www.v-flyer.com

Another one in, similar format by titled "YOUR ACCOUNT IS SUSPENDED FOR SECURITY REASONS"

As with anything that gets your name wrong and looks a bit odd, NEVER open any attachments from sources you're not 100% sure of.
