[ilugd] This is weird!
Hi, I received an email from crmarket...@airtel.in, I use airtel broadband but this is the first time they sent such a mail. The mail had an image attached which looks like a snapshot of some webpage. The weird part is the text of the mail, it's some sort of Non-disclosure Agreement which I'm supposed to automatically bind to as I open the mail, that's totally absurd. I spoke to Airtel CC and at first one person verified the mail but seemed quite unsure to me. He said it was only sent to 'special' customers which makes me wonder why I am a 'special' customer. After two more calls to CC, I was told to forward the mail to care@airtel.in. They said that they would call me back in an hour. I am still waiting for that. The content of the mail is as follows: This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information. If you are not the intended recipient, please contact the sender by reply e-mail and destroy all copies and the original message. Any unauthorized review, use, disclosure,dissemination, forwarding, printing or copying of this email or any action taken in reliance on this e-mail is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful. The recipient acknowledges that Bharti Airtel Limited or its subsidiaries and associated companies(collectively Bharti Airtel Limited),are unable to exercise control or ensure or guarantee the integrity of/overthe contents of the information contained in e-mail transmissions and further acknowledges that any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender and no binding nature of the message shall be implied or assumed unless the sender does so expressly with due authority of Bharti Airtel Limited. Before opening any attachments please check them for viruses and defects. ... It looks more like a phishing attack. Sane advice would be not to open the attachment but my curiosity got the better of me and I had to check what this weird mail was. Since I have not received a good enough response from Airtel for a week now, paranoia is setting in :-) Anybody else received such a mail? P.S.: Apologies if this looks like a long rant, but its really confused me and googling around didn't help as I couldn't find anybody else facing this issue.

Since I have not received a good enough response from Airtel for a week now, paranoia is setting in :-) Anybody else received such a mail? Try to open the mail attachment in an isolated environment. As in a virtual Linux system. Even if it will cause damage, that won't effect you.
