Fake E-Mails

[Flame]

Hey everyone! I just want to let you all know that people are starting to send-out FAKE E-Mails stating that they are from Microsoft again... I got two of them in my Inbox today, so if you get ANY E-Mails from Microsoft containing a "patch", then scan it BEFORE downloading it! It turns out that they wanted me to download a "security patch", which was actually a virus... Just for the heck of saying it, there was no security patch even available on Microsoft... Be careful... There are a lot of freaks out there...

Hey Merlin! Long time no hear! lol  Actually, I joined the Microsoft Mailing list... (official) ... Somehow, these goons from a fake place got the address.... The Microsoft newsletter is for media, etc.  Also, Yahoo! deleted the virus(es) from the E-Mail before I opened it... Thanks for the concern!

The spamhauses won't have 'gotten' the domain name from Microsoft - they'd have spoofed it. Not difficult to do or spot.
