Fake Staples Order email SCAM!

Authors list

Please be advised that there is another SCAM / PHISHING email going around that claims your Staples Purchase was successful and to open the attachment with a provided code to confirm your order.  This email is a SCAM please delete and do NOT open the attachment.


Key identifying features that this is a scam:


  1. Senders email address is not from Staples
  2. You will never be emailed an excel attachment as an invoice
  3. .xlsb is a macro’d enable attachment which are almost always built to execute a script, most likely an encryption script that installs Ransomware 
  4. The Staples Logo is not correct


Remember to always be mindful of any unsolicited emails with attachments.
