Jeeez.               MP>They are not even putting much effort behind those, are they? :) Of        MP>course, I am sure they still get some folks who will open it anway.                     No they're not. But I guess we can be grateful that since it is so        blatently stupid, it screams "to be avoided".              I've seen exactly this simple type of scam since the early 2000's. The        fact that we still see this today probably indicates that it is indeed        successful in many cases.              But it upsets me that there is the innocent unsuspecting internet newbie        who would automatically go for the "click" before they realize it's too        late.              The attachment could actually be an .exe even though it looks like a .zip              One click, and you're toast.              Are tablets/smartphones immune to this type of trick?       Are webbased email accounts immune?               ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: /|ug's Point, Ont.
