|  +1 Direct Deposit Transaction email The email copied below came with an attached ZIP file that supposedly contains a PDF. On closer examination, the \"PDF\" file has a .EXE extension following the .PDF extension. That means it is an executable file. If you open it you will run an unknown piece of malware that could infect your computer. I did not open it.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
