It has been brought to our attention that spam emails are being sent containing our company name in the body, these emails, if the attachment is opened, will infect your computer with Malware! Unfortunately this is a very common problem - as these emails are coming neither from Haughton Design email addresses nor passing through the Haughton Design email or IT systems there is nothing that can be done to prevent these. It appears that these emails are being sent to random email addresses who have no affiliation with Haughton Design but we are highlighting this on our website just to let you know the content of this email so you can recognise them and remove them safely. The content of a typical email is shown below - however they may also puport to be invoices or other letters:
