I have been receiving several emails from relatives or friends, advertising viagra, and the rest of them. Strange, there is just a link, no subject in the subject line, and nothing else - just a link to this. Has anyone else received this junk?

Oh, yes, it seems to come in waves. Lots of it for days and then nothing at all for a month or so, then I'll get a letter from that nice guy in Guiana who wants to give me part of the 20 million dollars before the bank takes it and gives it to their own friends and families.

Oh yes, did quite a number on our computer last year. Only way I got rid of it was to delete everyone in our address book and didn't redo. Not only does it come to you, it forwards onto everyone in your address book.

The person I received it from was my niece - and she wasn't even in my address book...I also just renewed my $$virus program...

Probably someone had their email hacked and this is what's going out to everyone on their list. It happened to me and I had to change my account three times because they kept hacking me. It's horrible. If you open things you don't know where they came from that's how they get you.
