I have just received an email that say's it's from Admin@captivebred.co.uk

This is NOT the case!

The email is titled Important Notification

and contains this message

Some information about your Captivebred account is attached.


The Captivebred Support Team


DO NOT open attached files, this may be a virus. I have no idea where this has come from but am guessing it's just another computer generated virus program that happens to be using CaptiveBred as a name.

Please delete message and warn others.

Thank you.

Might be a stupid question but I registered with my hotmail account - could I still get a virus if I get the email?

Pondering...

just found another variation, again this is NOT from us. Do not open attached ZIP files.

Dear Captivebred Member,


Your e-mail account was used to send a huge amount of unsolicited spam messages
during the recent week. If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online
experience and confirm the attached document so you will not run into any future
problems with the online service.


Virtually yours,

The Captivebred Support Team
