i just got a slightly different one - about 5 times. however looking carefully they are AOL addresses etc they come from heh. do not give them your details or run the attatchments...

ya...been around for a while now, I've been getting those emails for like 2 months now, but its good to let the community know, as alot of people don't really check the headers anyways.

Gotten 25 so far of them. The virus is that one which was floating around recently. Turns your machine into a spammers machine so they can send more viagra mails and also attacks the anti-spammer websites.

well i figured since i got 6 of the same email it was worth studying - and i wasnt gonna run an atatchment unless i was DAMN sure heh

wouldnt do for the noobs to leave the game cos they suddenly get a huge bill and cant afford to play anymore :p

heh i got my first 6 yesterday - although as i said slightly different and with an attatchment not a link.
