Here we go again. Another government agency scam.

Late last night and into this morning we are seeing yet another morph of the BBB and IRS scams that seem to have been making a weekly appearance (they took last week off though).

Today's variation is purporting to be from the FTC (from an @ftc.gov address). The format of the scam is the same as the other two incarnations. Highly targetted to specific individuals (they are probably even using the same list for every variant of the scam, although I can't prove this) with the name of the person targetted and the company name in the message body with an RTF file with an embedded executable attached which launches a keylogger.

I have no solid proof of this yet, but I would guess that these different variants are being sent out by the same spam gang, and are likely even targetting the same people with each new run.

Be on the lookout! If you get a message purporting to be from the FTC with an RTF attachment do yourself, your personal information, and your bank accounts a favor and delete it!
