I suspect her email's been hacked

[woofgang]

don't try to open the attachment. do a virus scan and delete the email

Exterminate with extreme prejudice. Scam.

Rarely a good idea to open an attachment when you're unsure of the sender or don't need to.

The first rule of all our work phishing and security training is NEVER open an attachment from an email you don't recognise or are not expecting, especially if it's about money.

Unless it's from your Ugandan Uncle wanting to use your bank account .. never ignore relatives who are handing out cash !
If you haven't got a Ugandan Uncle .. dont open it !

Many thanks for the advice. Have not been able to open the attachment as my tablet isn't supported by an app to open it. Hopefully no harm has been done. Will delete the message and hope it isn't too late. Frustrate.

Frustrate - never NEVER try to open an attachment on an email from a sender you are not absolutely sure of. Just don't - you'd be asking for trouble.

Thankyou all for your advice, have had scam emails before but this looked genuine as I had just placed an order on line and paid for it thought it related to that. Have deleted it and didn't manage to moment the attachment.Frustrate
