Hi David
I have just received an email from you with an exe file attached to
it.

They are making out they are you
seodave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Email addresses are harvested from Usenet. I am not sure if Dave used
the above address. Quite some time there was a virus that used as a
sender one person from a group, and send the load to others in the
same group. Quite smart.


I think it was directed at me. Or at least to try and fool me.

Like I said, about 3 years ago there was a virus that did exactly this. It
was not aimed at a single person.

Could be one of our spammer or asian frends that we have "helped" here
<g> ;)

Doubt it, since then I would get 10x more spam :-D.
