Message
I got an email today, pretending to be the administrator of gammon.com.au, saying my account had been suspended unless I "run the attached file and follow instructions".

Hopefully it goes without saying, I don't send out such emails.

Any emails from gammon.com.au or mushclient.com which request you to open attached files, or supply your username and password, are bogus. Delete them.

Actually there were two misspellings in the email, so it wasn't even a very successful forgery.
