Real virus alert

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Thu Apr 10, 2008 7:10 am

A series of fraudulent e-mails claiming to be from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been sent to an unknown number of e-mail addresses around the world.

The subject line typically reads: "tax contract for XXX", although there have been variations on that theme. The e-mail contains a Word attachment that, if opened, executes a computer virus.

Do NOT open or download the attachment associated with this e-mail. Delete the e-mail if you receive it.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
- Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

From the subject line, I though this was a warning about the bird flu or something. :|
