With Fake Invoices, Tech Support and Phishing scams, you have to fall for the Social Engineering ploy. If you call the number than they consider you are "mark" (a prospective victim) and may further the scam and CONvince you to take some action which can be anything from providing; your Login Credentials, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or access into your computer. While Fake Invoices, Tech Support and Phishing scams are all different, there are areas of overlap. That is there are some characteristics in each type of scam that may be shared by another. Such as a Phish is all about credentials and PII. But a Tech Support scam may also target PII. Additionally Phish masquerade as a well known entity to obtain PII. A Tech Support scam and Fake Invoice will also masquerade as a well known entity. Malwarebytes does not statically "detect" scripted malware or document files which includes PDF files. It relies on specialty heuristics and the anti exploitation module, in the paid-for version, to act upon suspicious or malicious activity these type of file may present. Thus scanning a PDF, scripted malware or document files with not be "detected" by MBAM or the Malwarebytes' Engine of Virus Total.

You have not provided no specifics on what to help you with.

The term viruses is widely abused. Yes, there can be malicious activity associated with PDF files but they don't distribute viruses. If it was a Phish, the payload is for you to fall for the Phish, go to the web site represented as a link in the PDF and you enter your credentials at a Phis Site. If you are unsure, please reference the following on how to provide sample submissions. Malware Hunters group Purpose of this forum Then attach a Virus Total report URL and the PDF in a ZIP, RAR or 7zip attachment in; Newest Malware Threats Just talking about a suspect file is pure conjecture. Examining the PDF file in question one can be more specific.

Thank you. We have been seeing a plethora of Fake Invoices. Yours is a common one with the only difference is that is a new phone number. But a common denominator has been the From address and the To addresses are the same. No legitimate company would ever use the recipients email address as the sender. If you think you are infected, please read; I'm infected - What do I do now? and then create a post in; Windows Malware Removal Help & Support and you will receive one-on-one assistance in checking your PC and removing any malware found.
