The warning against this threat was issued on Wednesday by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in tandem with its partner organisation, the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

The FBI warned users not to respond to spam emails and to ignore attachments and links contained within them. They also urged people to check the legitimacy of such emails is necessary by typing the URL of he organisation (Not copying the link.) directly into a web-browser rather than clicking the link provided.
