Man, I hate when people post crap like this without researching it. Ever heard of Snopes.com?

Huh? Oh...

Nevermind.

Seriously, though... it's "just another virus". It requires no different action than any other virus. If you go opening random email attachments, you're gonna get bit. Rule of thumb: if you didn't ASK for someone to send you an email attachment, VERIFY that they actually sent it and intended for you to look at it before you open it.

Awarness, either way is good information. You'd be surprised at how many people fall for scams like these on a daily basis. I should know, I'm a finacial crimes/robbery investigator that deals with this on a daily basis.

Thanks for posting, Bob
