    Email - DO NOT OPEN
    « on: March 14, 2007, 08:59:07 PM »
    I received a strange email today, with the following recipients:

    [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

    The body of the message is as follows:

    please read the attachment

    Attachments include vitamin.doc and wordicon.exe. I find this email, and the number of recipients, highly suspect. If ANY of you get this message, DO NOT OPEN.

      Thanks for the info, Dilbert.  Do you happen to recall the subject of the e-mail so we could maybe catch this a bit easier?

          Always a bad sign IMO. Doubly so if you don't recognise the sender's name(s).
