I have a facebook account and seldom post on it. I was going through my spam folder at yahoo and saw an email from Facebook, supposedly. It said that spam had been sent from facebook page and my account had been blocked or something. Thank goodness a virus window alert from Yahoo popped up and kept me from opening the email.

Please don't open it if you get it. Or check it with an anti-virus if you can. I am going to run my anti-virus software now.

I just manage to stop spam from being sent from my yahoo email to everyone on my address book. Why do people waste their time and talent on such evil things??? :?: :evil:

I don't open anything that comes in my spam folder. My yahoo account will toss anything not from the original company in there.
