In late September and early October 2012 emails cleverly disguised to appear as faxes sent from eFax Corporate, a service based in Los Angeles, California went viral on the World Wide Web. These look official but they are a scam to trick computer users by redirecting them to web sites that could infect their computers, according to a September 24, 2012 article by the Examiner.
The easiest way to check questionable emails is to hover the mouse (without clicking any buttons) over the links in the suspected emails. Looking at the bottom border of the email window, an Internet location in the form of a URL to the website can be seen. If that link does not appear to be from the company sending the email it is a very good indication that it is a redirecting scam.
Note that all the embedded links go to the same url (http<colon>//updates.account-updates.com/t/b6c6963bd5)
Same thing as what Jack posted back in July, just got one today. Incoming email saying it was from eFax, but a careful look at the URL from the sender shows it comes from "efaxx.com".
This number was included in an emailed that said to contain a eFax message from corporate and was on my work computer. None of the normal things that I would expected to see when something is from corporate. I assume it was a phishing scam or virus, but did not open it for those reasons.
