Sophos is
warning of a fake Groupon email carrying a Trojan instead of a group discount from a friend.
The email mimics the real online coupon company's branding, but a clue that the message is not legitimate is a misspelling in the subject header: "Groupon dicount gifts."
The fake offer opens with the line, "You're going to love it. We are glad to inform you that one of your friends has found a great deal on Groupon.com! And even shared it with you!" It then explains that Groupon.com now has the capability to share discounted gifts in an attachment, where all of the details allegedly are located. Recipients have two days to act on the offer.
