Nexi Email Scam Trojan: Easy Uninstall Guide

Nexi Email Scam is a social engineering tactic used by cyber offenders to trick rookie users into providing their sensitive data. In this scheme, thousands of phishing emails are sent by criminals that are disguised as legitimate organizations, companies or other entities. However, the sole purpose of scammers is to extract users’ login credentials (email addresses, usernames, passwords), financial information (e.g., credit card details), social security numbers, or other data. These deceptive emails include a website link clicking on which, recipients are redirected to an illusive website where they are asked to enter their personal information.

Know More About Nexi Email Scam:

People behind Nexi Email Scam pretend to be from Italian bank that specializes in payment systems called Nexi. According to them, some refund request for 113.99 EUR has been accepted. They try to deceive recipients into believing that they have to log into the provided website (by clicking the Confermare button) to confirm the refund. The fraudulent site looks like the official Nexi account login credentials (email address and password). Accounts stolen by cyber crooks might be utilized to make fraudulent transactions and commit identity theft.

It is worth mentioning that stolen accounts of Nexi Email Scam victims could be sold to third-parties or cyber criminals on the darkweb. Moreover, offenders may also utilize them to access other accounts and steal them as well, in case the same username or email address and password is employed. And hence, it is highly important to review the received mails that contain links of suspicious website, asking users for personal data. Never provide information on such deceptive sites as it may result in huge financial losses, identity theft and severe privacy issues.

How Does The Scam Spread:

Quite often, those users are targeted with Nexi Email Scam whose systems are already infected with a Trojan virus. This kind of computer infections are generally spread with the help of phishing emails that are sent by cyber crooks in thousands. These emails are presented as important letters from some well-known companies but usually contain spiteful files that could be in any of these formats: archive file (like ZIP, RAR), Microsoft Office document, PDF document, executable file like .exe, JavaScript file. As soon as the recipients open, run or execute the malevolent file, it leads to the installation of Nexi Email Scam virus.

Typically, the MS Office versions older than 2010 do not have the “Protected View” mode. And hence, vicious files opened with those versions trigger virus installation without requiring any further user interaction. However, files opened with Microsoft Office 2010 (or later) do not initiate the installation of malevolent file unless recipients enable macros commands (editing or content).

Tips To Prevent Virus Intrusion:

You need to be very careful while surfing the web to avoid these parasites from infiltrating your systems. You should avoid opening irrelevant emails that are received from a suspicious, unknown source and contain some attachment or website link. These mails are likely to be sent by cyber criminals with the purpose to trick recipients into downloading and opening a file designed to install malware. And hence, it is recommended not to trust such emails (open files or links in them). But at the moment, you must remove Nexi Email Scam virus from the machine without wasting any time.
