Looks like someone's been hacked?

I just got an email from "Regionten RO" with a suspicious looking link on it. It claims sender's email address is michael.panter2 (at) ntlworld.com although that might be spoofed
 
My wife opened one of my emails last week and totally wiped the computer out which we use to run my business. Money was asked for to 'reinstate all my data'. I would rather put it in the dustbin than be blackmailed!!
its with a local computer firm now who have managed to get all the data back- at a cost I suppose!?
Be very careful with dodgy looking emails!!

There are a lot of these about (they’ve been trying out all sorts of names within the Club recently). If it’s obviously not the proper Club address, be wary and do NOT open anything... just bin it[;)] Check Porschefile/Porsche Post or call Club office if you’re unsure!
 
I had my email account hacked via a photo on email sent to me on the club RS account. l'm on gmail and I could see that someone from Norwich was using my account. It's Very common and easy to get complacent when opening from a source you think is ok.
