Spam/ abuse email - yahoo groups

[Guest guest]

Just got some funny email, appeared to be from Yahoo Groups, but had

the telltale " document.zip " and requests that I open an attachment.

It said " witoldies " instead of on it, so makes me wonder if

it's associated with this group.

So if anyone sees something similar, remember never to open

attachments unless you ABSOLUTELY are sure that you are either

expecting them or they are from someone you know (and message makes

sense, not just " Hi, thought you'd like this. " )

Take care,

Yes, got the same message. I scanned the attachment and it does

contain a virus.

Did this message appear to have come from any particular

listmember? I got a very strange message which I did not open on my

yahoo e mail address from justagram@... who does not exist.

It's very important that everyone updates their virus protection and

runs it frequently in this day of so many computer viruses. Even

more important, if you receive a message with an attachment, please

don't open it unless you are totally sure it's safe.

The list cannot get viruses because the attachment option is closed

to prevent it from happening.
