Is there anyone who speaks this language, if so I'd be interested to know what it says.
It was on an e-mail purporting to be from HM Revenue & Customs and is titled "Tax Refound (sic) of 196.50GBP" and contains a .txt file of 2KB called message (which I won't be opening).
The main body contains no English at all. I'm sure it's a scam of some sort and not about to click any links or anything but I'd still be interested to know what it said. Even the crudest e-mail scams usually have made a half hearted attempt to translate it into English.

MENSAJE CORRUPTO

Este es el servidor de correo electrónico Courier 0.60 en correo.gms.com.ni.

Yo recibí el siguiente mensaje para ser enviado a tu dirección de correo electrónico. Este mensaje contiene errores internos de formato. Esto es a menudo causado por virus que intentan afectar a sistemas remotos. En vez de bloquear este mensaje, yo lo he convertido en un adjunto de texto de lectura solamente, que puede ser leído con seguridad con un editor de texto.

Esto también pasa a veces cuando el programa de correo del remitente tiene un "problema" que crea mensajes no con formatos no aceptados. Aunque, este tipo de errores de formato puede ser a menudo ignorado por otros servidores de correo electrónico, este servidor detecta e intercepta mensajes con formato erroneo para prevenir que virus tomen ventaja de este error en programas clientes de correo electrónico:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Este mensaje contiene contenido binario con formato no aceptable, o un adjunto.

There is one other line but it is a clickable link so I wont post it in here.

Any help welcome, cheers.

I put it into an online translation site...

CORRUPT MESSAGE
East is the servant of electronic mail Courier 0,60 in correo.gms.com .ni.
I received the following message to be sent to your direction of electronic mail. This message contains internal errors of format. This often is caused by virus that tries to affect remote systems. Instead of blocking this message, I have turned it a reading text associate only, that can be read surely with a text editor.
This also happens sometimes when the program of mail of the sender has a “problem” that creates messages not with formats nonaccepted. Although, this type of format errors often can be ignored by other servants of electronic mail, this servant detects and intercepts messages with erroneous format to come up that virus takes advantage from this error in programs clients of electronic mail:

------------
This message contains binary content with nonacceptable format, or an associate.

close enough I imagine.

I thought of doing just that (on-line translator) but wasn't sure even what language it is.
Still think it's a scam and still not opening the text message.
Thanks Karrde.

Given that the message is in Spanish but the DNS is in Nigeria, I think you can safely assume it is a scam! :lol:

Decent French, mediocre Spanish, crap Italian, and (formerly) reasonable standard of Latin & Ancient Greek (assuming 7yrs at school counts!!)
