Fake "email setup" files


You might receive e-mails that claim to be from CapeMay.com or Cape Publishing, containing "setup files" or "settings files." The text of these emails may be similar to this:

We are informing you that because of the security upgrade of the mailing service your mailbox mail@example.com settings were changed. In order to apply the new set of settings open attached file.

Regardless of what is says in the "FROM" field, these e-mails do not originate from our server and likely contain dangerous files intended to harm your computer. Do not open these e-mails. Do not open the attachments. Do not forward these e-mails to us. Delete them immediately.

Any information on your e-mail accounts will originate directly from either Jessica or Bernie. We will never send you "setup files" for your e-mail account, as each computer must be configured depending on what e-mail client you are using.

We are not responsible for any damage to your computer that might arise from you opening such files.
