Gmail has been filtering this stuff out for me

Very true... I get a LOT of foreign e-mails with horrible grammar. And you're right, no court in the USA will send the court information by e-mail, it will always be hand-delivered.

Just contact the clerk of courts to see if it is real. Here is a interesting link.

The spammer uses the phrase "Court of Washington" which is really too vague to check. Of course, the vagueness is another tip-off that this email is fake.

What the spammer is hoping is that some recipients really *do* have court dates coming up (either in the State of Washington or in Washington, DC) and that they will be so stressed out about going to court that they will click on the attachment before thinking about it, thereby exposing their computer to viruses. This is really a low blow, even by spam standards.

Thanks, Paco, for alerting TUG members. Maybe the title could be changed to reflect that this is a general email scam, not a timeshare scam?

Did not check all of the internet, but did not see any court dates for Washington DC or Washington, the state of.

Did see one that matched the 11:00 am on 1-08-2013 that involved Bank of America. Do not know what it is about or if it is related. Appears to be VT.

So, did you find this using Google? When you said "just contact the clerk of courts" I thought you meant phoning the clerk of the appropriate court.

Are all (most?) upcoming court dates listed online? If so, that is good to know.

Do not know just Googled various types of info that was available and that is what poped up.

Here is the main home page for Vermont. I do not know if other states have the same thing or not. There were at least one or two other states that were popping up court dates.

I've never understood how this works. Clicking on a link is enough to put a virus in your computer? Don't you have to actually intall a program or something like that?
 
Yep, that is all that is required. That is why expert, actually any savvy advice is never click on link from pop up, unknown party, stuff in spam blocker, etc..

Actually worse. A couple weeks ago I clicked on legitimate link to free Krispy Cream Donuts. Some how Conduit Virus hijacked my ISP number and took over my computer. McAffe program ID but could not downland removal program and had to pay "Geek" $150' to get rid of.

He explained virus guys have zillions of bad stuff floating around on INTERNET continuously. If you open your ISP number while in their "range" you are had.

I think this email was trying to get people to click on an attachment, not click on a link. If an email attachment contains an executable program, clicking on the attachment will generally cause the program to run -- and the program may install a virus on your computer. You generally never want to open email attachments from people you don't know. You even want to be cautious about attachments from people you *do* know, in case their computer has a virus that is sending out infected emails.

The big risk when clicking on a link from an email is a possible "phishing" attack. Phishing is different from a virus. In a phishing attack, the link takes you to a website that looks like, say, your bank, but is really a fake. When you put your password into the website, the password gets stolen and the thieves get access to your account.

As for viruses on web pages, some web pages may try to download programs that contain viruses -- but, your browser (MSIE or Firefox or Chrome or whatever) will probably ask you before running or downloading the program. So, clinking on links on the web is not as risky as opening email attachments.
 
Let me tell you something. You better show up in the court of Washington in January 8, 2014 at 11:00 am or you are in BIG trouble. You better bring all documents and witnesses relating to this case with you to Court on your hearing date or the hearing the judge may hear the case in your absence. I would not take this very lightly.
 
Interesting discussion. Simple fix. Just go to Staples (they rent computer time) open up the E-Mail and Attachment and read it there.
 
I got this one today--ty all for the help
