Easy thing to spot are spelling errors. Safe computing everyone.

Good luck listening to a 1,000 MBit cable with a set of headphones on!

Not so much virus/malware, more someone phisching to try and get your account details. the next step would have been to either confirm your password or your "secret" question. Or maybe even a one-off payment so they will "leave you alone"

Edited to add. didnt spot your mention of the exe file sorry.
