Yet another "phishing" email is making the rounds, seeking to access the email addresses and computer drives of unsuspecting victims. This one claims to be from a business that has unsuccessfully tried to send you "some documents" via email. The sender asks you to download the documents from Google Docs, a popular method of transferring files via the Internet. The "helpful" sender even includes a link to the documents.
WARNING: Do not click the link! It may provide the unknown - and presumably larcenous - sender with access to your email, contact list or even your hard drive. Help protect your personal information by simply deleting the email.
Here is an example of the message that is being received:

Hello,
We have been trying to send you some documents but have not been able to attach them via email, perhaps some issue with the network. We did get our tech to help upload them via Google Docs and you can view them here on Admin Drive to access the documents.
Please let us know what you think.
Regards,

It seems as if there is a new email scam every week. Our advice: be discerning with all unknown email senders, and don't let your guard down.
