I did not risk opening the two attachments that came with this email. I could be harmless but it could be a virus or Trojan, was not taking the chance. They were winner forms and documents that came in .doc format. I urge people to NOT open any attachment from anyone that they were not expecting, even if it seems like family. Email them back and say “Did you send me the following attachment” and make sure it was intentional and not someone that hacked or spoofed their account.
Oh and of course the email / winning notice below is complete “horse hockey”
