It seems to be catching a lot of people out. I just got one and called the sender. His email has been hacked because they emailed his bank and asked them to transfer money to a foreign account to pay for a property. His bank called him to tell him about it.

Curious if that link referred to a overseas Bank that provide welath management services, mine did ?

I didn't click on it.

I suspect that it puts something on your computer which opens it up to a visitor.
