Strange e-mail regarding Prosper Audit - Virus?

[ktrdsl23]

I got a strange e-mail today.  Here are the basics of the body.  The Investor number is my correct Prosper ID number.  Do you guys think this is simply a virus file and Prosper account IDs got hacked or do you think this is legitimate?  The e-mail did seem to come from [email protected]

Not virus.  Its their audit.

Was inappropriate for D&T to put financial details, such as account balances, in unsecure email.  Surely this violates some D&T procedures.  I suggest you tell Deloitte this.

I wouldn't open the zip file- it's common to use a zip file to get past anti-virus.

And contact Prosper.

I think a better question is:  Why is Deloitte polling Prosper account holders about their balances?  Who's paying them to do it - and why?

I called Prosper investor customer service and was told to forward the e-mail to Prosper investor services.  The rep told me not to open the e-mail or respond until I hear back.  It seems inappropriate for me to have to respond to Deloitte in such an unprofessional manner.  I didn't open the file but if Fred is correct and it lists my account balances that seems very inappropriate.

Sounds like a virus scam. As far as Prosper checking it out, hope you're not expecting a reply anytime soon.
