anybody else get weird spam e-mail re capture of OBL?

[ima_sinnic]

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.

1. Wasn't there a story about an email like this going around

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!
