Anything that comes from Admin@, or Staff@ or Info@ or anything like that from Cupra.net should be ignored!! As they are not from us.

The only ones you'll receive from us on the seatcupra.net domain, are either personal emails, ie zboyd@, mark@, saul@ and possibly forum@

We won't send you any attachments for checking your password or account details or any nonsense like that, simply because we dont need to. Anything we want you to have in terms of downloads, we will link you to our server for, for you to download from.

Always treat any email with the upmost care, keep your virus definitions upto date, and if in doubt, don't open any attachments, if you were not expecting it, then its probably a virus.

The viruses dont come from us, its just our url being spoofed, probably by someone who has a virus on their own PC, who has visted SCN or has been in touch with someone on SCN by email at some point, so they have an SCN address in their address book.

Any .exe attachment should be ignored, same with .zip files unless you're expecting them.
