eFax users who have received email notifications like the one below, asking them to click on a link within the same email message to view a fax should not do so. This is because the email notifications are being sent by cyber criminals to trick the recipients into clicking on the link in them that downloads a malicious file or virus onto their computers. Any attempts to open the malicious file will in result in the recipients' computers getting infected with a virus, ransomware, spyware or other malware.
