Yeah it was googling that ISP Consortium that I eventually discovered 419eater... that attachment is, from what I found, some sort of virus. And "ISP Consortium" of course does not exist.

Actually just googled and the attachment contains a virus - should probably have googled before I posted but had so many internet access problems I was panicking. It is probably worth retaining the post as other members may receive the same mail - which apparently is new judging by recent date of all google entries
