I folks, received this in an email today. Can anyone tell me if this is genuine or is this in fact fake or spam mail. We are awaiting a Thai Pass. It is a bit concerning.

They are asking you to open it on a PC because the malware or virus is designed to infect a Windows machine. If it was a legitimate document such as PDF or DOC there is no reason why you can't open it on a mobile device.

Just wondering Gary, some people asked you for the sender's email address but I don't see where you posted it, doesn't helping people work both ways?

Forgive me if I'm wrong and you did do so.
