Re: Beware of attachments!!!

I like the ones that have "daemon" in the return address and say
"your mail delivery has been failed." They are almost as convincing
as the ones purporting to be from Earthlink (or Pay Pal) that
explain I need to mail them my credit card info.

--Q.M.

Hi Olives.
I just got a MEAN email from an unknown source. The header said
"returned message" and it had an attachment, which was supposedly the
message *I* tried to send. The problem is, I didn't send any message.
The attachment was a computer virus instead.
This email is to give you a heads-up on how nasty people can be.
PLEASE be careful of any attachments. If you've got a virus-scanner,
check all attachments out before opening them. Now might be a good
time to update your latest virus codes, too.
More on the subject, in case you were wondering. (Found it on
Googling "Yahoo returned email".)

Hope this helps.
