Then there was a .arj attachment to it.
I assume people are supposed to think "Why have I been sacked by a company I don't work for? I'd better open this attachment to find out".

I know. In hindsight it was foolish of me to accept a job that was nowhere near where I lived.
I wonder what I was supposed to be doing, I might have been good at it.

Wrexham? probably something to with sheep probably, you know, like a pimp
Looking at the website it was probably web design, looks like the office cat stepped in and covered for you

Looks like classic FrontPage to me. I remember that from the 90s.

If they have a good severance package, it’ll be the best darn job you never had.

Of course you don't work for them you've just been sacked
(having looked at their website I wouldn't feel bad about them sacking the web designer)

I believe you have been canned legitimately. Perhaps the attachment was an e-check of your severance?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

What did the attachment say?

It said "Sophos has detected a virus and is not going to let you open this".

Uninstalling Sophos should allow you to access it.

Unfortunately 'tis a corporate solution.
I'll have a look when I get home.

I'm not surprised you left, Wrexham's a dump.

I would sue them for a severance package

I wouldn't worry about it. Probably someone just pretending to be you.
Racking up bills, not paying taxes, missing court dates...
Okay, I'd worry about it. But that's the sort of thing I worry about.

Looks like the company went bust around two or three years ago but its website is still up so some enterprising spammer has started to use it to give a thin veneer of authenticity.
Presumably they rely on the less tech savvy paranoid out there to open the attachment to find out if someone has stolen their identity.

That's definitely one for the weird and wonderful.

Given that they've mis-typed the word "find" & used "sauce" instead of "source", I've going for the Grauniad.

It would be churlish for me to confirm/deny that it was the Grauniad ..... but yes, I believe it was.
