anybody else get weird spam e-mail re capture of OBL? |
|
Just received these 2 identical e-mails, sent within minutes of each other, one to my publicly-available website address, the other to my virtually unknown more closely guarded e-mail (so I don't know how the person found me), supposedly from 2 different senders:
Subject: God Bless! (subject of other one: He has been captured)
Turn on your TV. Osama Bin Laden has been captured. While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures. I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV. Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture. I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time. Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon. God bless the USA! Jeffery Ali (2nd one signed Tasha Parr)
Neither one had any attachments.
I bet this is the latest wannabe virus attack and the attachments were stripped off by my antivirus program--like, ha ha, madeja look and now your computer's fucked up, nyah myah.
whatever. bozos.
don't open unsolicited attachments.

that had a virus attached? edited to add: See the link:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3923705.stm "A virus purporting to show images of Osama Bin Laden's suicide has been unleashed onto the internet, security experts are warning. The virus was attached to a message posted on thousands of Usenet newsgroups, security firm Sophos said."
Sounds pretty similar.

3. Yes, it did have an attachment |
|
It was a zip file, hidden. Got a Mac? Probably not a problem. That zip file, though...click it at your own peril. If this isn't a virus, hell, I'm a Bush supporter!
