Top 10 E-Mail Scams 6

Scam #6: US Bombs Iran
The Come-On:
You get an e-mail announcing that the United States has invaded Iran, or some other sensational news headline, with a link to the news story.
The Scam:
The Web site is designed to look like a real news page with a video player and a banner, but they're fakes. Once you click them to get the story, you're in danger of downloading malware known as the 'Storm Worm,' a backdoor Trojan. Beware of anything named "iran_occupation.exe."
What You Can Do:
Don't rely on anonymous e-mails to get your news. If you see a headline and you absolutely must find out if it's true, then go to a trusted news site rather than click on the link. If you do fall for it, make sure your antivirus and malware protections are up-to-date.
