As Ernest said Too Late. It said click here for details of the claim so I did, to find out what it was about. What is my next step? I am so gullible with PCs.
No shit BG. You need to wise up and learn, or you'll get robbed. We've been through this with you before.

Is it not natural if you receive an e mail from a legal firm, as a google search showed, and it says for further detaiks of the claim click here, you click to find out exactly what it is. Or am I being naive and too trusting?

Yes, you are being naive and too trusting.
I'm not the most computer savvy person, but even I know not to open links in emails if I don't know the sender.

What was the email address of the sender? That is generally a giveaway.

The fact the link has been removed from the internet that was hosting the Trojan/Malware has probably saved your bacon.

There are a lot of these kind of spam from accountants / HMRC / legal firms etc at the moment.

Why would a solicitor email you? Where would they get your email address from.

I received an e mail from these people but know nothing about it. It says pre trial notice and has a link to read the details but when I clicked on it a message came up error 404, Anybody know anything about them a google shows they are International Lawyers but doesnt say what field they specialise in.

You received an E mail from someone you nothing about.

But clicked on the link anyway.

You are a bigger fool than we all thought.

That is out of order as I do not post on rumours site just report back here what is posted about us on there. As regards the cement works that was only 1 signature away from becoming fact but that is water under the bridge and we have moved on , so should you, as I and many more have.

As a general rule, if you're not expecting an e-mail from someone and it asks you to click a link (no matter how innocous it seems) just don't do it. Delete it and don't worry.

Most e-mail scams now appear to come from legitimate firms, it doesn't mean it actually is. I've had a few from 'HSBC' in the last week regarding my account with them, which is impressive when you consider I don't actually have one.

Oh, also, if you don't recall actually giving the firm in question your e-mail address in the first place then it's probably a good sign that something isn't quite right.
