Re: 911:: apparent hoax pretending to be from Yahoo

[Guest guest]

I got one as well. I just received one " from aol " informing me that my

address was used to

send out an abundant amount of junk email and to open the attachment & follow

directions to get rid of the virus. Any mail from AOL has a certain look to

it so I know it wasn't from them. I didn't open the attachment from yahoo

either. I'm running a virus scan now.

I received a poorly-worded e-mail allegedly from yahoo

entire e-mail.

Mine didnt have an attachment and it actually was posted from another list

member so I know its a hoax.. I am emailing them directly in case they are

infected with something..
