Worldpay Card Transaction Confirmation: Scam or Virus?

The Worldpay Card Transaction Confirmation is considered by some as a virus and for some, a scam. Whatever it is, Worldpay Card Transaction Confirmation is a security threat to those affected. In my view, it could be both an email scam and virus rolled into one malicious electronic letter. Here is the email received by “infected” users for your information:

Thank you!

This is not a tax receipt.

Antivirus softwares which were able to intercept or filter this email indicated that this is an email virus similar to Olympic Torch/Invitation Virus and Koobface Virus affecting social networks. For your online security, do not open emails of these type. Just a word of caution so beware of these email scams and viruses. Beware!
