I have discovered an e-mail in my spam folder from my e-mail address to my e-mail address saying Nacha Alert ID. Does anyone know what it means. I have not opened it as it could be harmful to my computer or be a way of getting my information> Can anyone help me with this please?
Eve
I have just googled Nacha Alert,and it appears to be a phishing scam to get your I.D. information ,they send these e.mails in the hope that someone who
is picked at random does reply to them..best to delete it from your system.
It may be adviseable to contact a couple of your e-mail contacts to see if they have received the same e-mail from you,as it may be your address book has been got at.,in this case,It may be you will have to contact your e-mail server and notify them,
.
Thanks for the information it is much appreciated, I thought it was a funny one.
My advise would be if you do not know who it is from then do not open it.

Eve see the link above it is a phishing email - a scam..
NACHA - The Electronic Payments Association has received reports that individuals and/or companies have received a fraudulent email that has the appearance of having been sent from NACHA and signed by a non-existent NACHA employee. Specifically, this email claims to be from the "Electronic Payments Association" and appears to be coming from the email address "[email protected]." See a sample of the email below.
Be aware that phishing emails frequently have attachments and/or links to Web pages that host malicious code and software. Do not open attachments or follow Web links in unsolicited emails from unknown parties or from parties with whom you do not normally communicate, or that appear to be known but are suspicious or otherwise unusual.
Thanks for the advice Paul.
