Note: The aim of these scam emails is to collect personal / financial information or to install a malicious virus such as 'ransomware' which can 'take over' your PC. Recovery of infected systems is virtually impossible without clean backups. Prevention is the best approach to any malware. It's vital that you know the warning signs of a phishing scam. If you suspect your computer or network is infected by ransomware, you should seek technical advice immediately.
