Malware alert: Best deals on Trading Post !

I received this email and since it is targeting Australians, I felt it was prudent to let others know about this malware. The email pretends to be sent from Telstra Corporation and includes a single graphic image. When you you click on a vehicle you'll go a web site which isn't the trading post site. It is a site with the domain embarqhsd.net. The email was actually sent from America.

My feeling is it is a phishing attempt. You should delete emails like this immediately. If you receive an unexpected email with links, open your browser and type in the web site address rather than using a link in an email. A moment of care can save you time and grief.
