[SPAM] totally off topic-watch out for this scam

[Guest guest]

I have heard of several people selling items via the internet and getting scammed by possible buyers in Nigeria. Be careful out there! Also, there is a computer virus that is being spread under the guise of the SARS outbreak. They say not to open anything with attachments etc that mention SARS in the subject line.
