I got one the other day that was along these lines.... "We're sorry, but your bank account has been closed due to fraudulent activity. We have reported you to the police. You can only clear this matter up by responding to the information included in the attachment." Or something to that effect. I deleted it without opening the attachment. I mention this because I note a strange similarity to Spanki's report. Needless to say, this had me running to check my bank account (D'oh, that gives me a bad thought). It was o.k, but now that I think about it, if they somehow had a spyware that recorded me going into my bank right after I got such a fraudulant notice, then I've fallen for their ploy. For the love of Pete, this virus stuff is getting so far out of control, I'm really starting to wonder how we'll ever get rid of it. What if this just gets so bad you can't go on the internet without the equivalent of a full suit of armor? This doesn't sit well with me at all.
